EDP OTHER And POWER Issue

[ODENIA]

Hi. I bought a new laptop. Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3. It's just 2 weeks old.
When I disable Turbo, there is no problem but when I turn it on there is always EDP OTHER in yellow under GPU, CORE and RING. Sometimes PL2 and POWER show up in red. What can I do to fix this problem? Thank you.
By the way, I didn't change anything on throttlestop. Those options are default.
Actually, I don't even know is this a problem or intended.
Maybe they wanted to keep this laptop cooler, so they put power limit, right?

I need to see a picture of the FIVR window. I believe Intel has removed FIVR voltage control from the 11320H. Does it show "Not Available" at the top middle of the FIVR window? If this is the case then there is usually no way to increase the current limits. When these limits are set too low by a manufacturer, you end up with lots of EDP throttling.

In the TPL window you can try checking the MMIO Lock box and you can try setting Power Limit 4 to a value of 0 but I doubt this will solve your problem.

What can I do to fix this problem?

When you buy a laptop and it has throttling problems like this, it is best to return it immediately. With recent laptops, there is next to nothing you can do to fix these kind of problems. Intel has removed or locked out most adjustments.

Yes it says not available. My wonder is this harmful for laptop health. If it's just preventing me from getting maximum performance, that's fine with me. However, if it is a problem that may cause the computer to break in the long run, I might consider returning it.
I tried setting Power Limit 4 to value 0 and your guess is right, it didn't change anything.

is this harmful for laptop health

No. Laptops are engineered to throttle. Power limit throttling or current limit throttling or thermal throttling are all normal. Manufacturers and Intel set low ball limits for a variety of reasons. Many users like cool running laptops which only require a small power adapter. I prefer desktop computers that do not have any limitations like this.

If your laptop is not powerful enough for your needs then take it back and buy something else.

Thank you so much. This is the answer i was looking for. This laptop is more than enough for my needs. I just had to find out if this was a technical malfunction or not.
