toxic owl
Good bin i would say
digital locust
and here i was thinking of swapping it cause it's hybrid mode runs funny xdxd
merry comet
ooh
digital locust
need to look up how to optimize battery life and maximize performance when plugged in
merry comet
CPU is questionable though
digital locust
oo is it supposed to be higher?
merry comet
yep
toxic owl
No hes in the fine range
digital locust
i ran the single core one first, battery was like 35 C, then ran the multi core one right after
merry comet
me: ok CPU, poopoo GPU
this guy proceed to get Excellent on GPU with no overclocking
toxic owl
me: ok CPU, poopoo GPU
this guy proceed to get Excellent on GPU with no overcloc...
Yeh lol
Hey dou have imsi afterburner installed?
digital locust
nope, but i hear it's pretty much a must
merry comet
need to look up how to optimize battery life and maximize performance when plugg...
more importantly, this one
toxic owl
Install it
merry comet
i'm now interested
digital locust
i still havent uninstalled all the extra windows 11 crap or finished adjusting all the settings so it's not so annoying
digital locust
Install it
gettin it now
digital locust
oh that i have, i've done some of the obvious ones
but there's still a lot to be cleaned i think, my battery life still feels meh
merry comet
_ _
toxic owl
wtf
digital locust
i got cpuz as well, should i run the benchmark on that?
also what is msi afterburner? just a standard hardware monitor program?
i like how clean it looks
merry comet
apart from monitoring, it's a well-known GPU overclocking program
digital locust
ah cool, i've never properly overclocked anything in my life; i think i overclocked the ram on my pc from 3200->3600 but thats about it
merry comet
wouldn't say that's proper overclocking, because on desktop PC, that's just one flip of switch to unlock the RAM's extra performance
digital locust
yea exactly, i didnt want to fry anything and i think it was literally a toggle in bios
merry comet
if it's within manufacturer's expected usage, it's not overclocking
tomorrow, i'll test the laptop's battery, see how long it'd last
digital locust
i think it was literally these https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/Categories/Products/Memory/VENGEANCE-LPX/p/CMK16GX4M2D3600C16, i never even checked if i did it right, i just know my comp's fast af for general browsing
merry comet
how long was the laptop last for you ?
digital locust
tomorrow, i'll test the laptop's battery, see how long it'd last
nice, i'd love to see the results
about 2 hours, i never really tested it
i have conserve mode on, and i took it out a few times
merry comet
me holding back my urge to say "skill issue"
digital locust
i usually plug it in the wall at 20% and that's usually just under 2 hours of general browsing
digital locust
*me holding back my urge to say "skill issue"*
dont hold back, say whatever you want :p
merry comet
you know conservation mode limit the battery to 80% right ?
digital locust
yep, was hoping to conserve it a little XD
merry comet
breh
digital locust
i guess i wouldnt mind replacing the battery more often, i should turn it off
i thought conserve mode also made it run on less energy, so i just turned it on lol
digital locust
*wears sleeveless shirt*
like a real magician does
toxic owl
i got cpuz as well, should i run the benchmark on that?
nah
merry comet
i expect to have 7 hours at least
digital locust
how much performance do i have to sacrifice for 7 ? :o
merry comet
erm, haven't tested, so take it with a grain of salt
toxic owl
Like 90% bet
digital locust
i havent done much.. balance thermal mode, hybrid mode, 60 hz, played around a liittle bit with the power plan settings
merry comet
quiet is recommended
digital locust
true
do you still use lenovo vantage? i tried the other recommended one and i didnt much like it, but thats probably cause i wasnt using it right
merry comet
the battery power, at the palm of my hand
oh yeah, forgot to ask, which BIOS version are you on ?
digital locust
if it's not here i dont know where to look xdd
merry comet
It's a stable one
keep it that way
also the first version to have thermal mode custom usable
which means, CPU, GPU power limit can be tweaked
if you want, the fan curve can be changed also
digital locust
control freak rejoice
merry comet
if you want, the fan curve can be changed also
i would refrain from touching the max fan speed though
this one
digital locust
im probably going to refrain from trying to maximize anything for now, just trying to minimize first
then build on that
merry comet
i see
digital locust
oh yeah, the legion toolkit
merry comet
then do remember to cap the frame while playing games
digital locust
i should redl and use that honestly, i really dislike lenovo vantage
merry comet
yeet Lenovo Vantage, join Toolkit
digital locust
then do remember to cap the frame while playing games
i cant tell if you are being sarcastic, like telling me to drink out of a sippy cup and wear my grippy socks
merry comet
succumb to the rabbit hole
toxic owl
i cant tell if you are being sarcastic, like telling me to drink out of a sippy ...
He ain't
merry comet
you said minimize, me will give you minimize tips
digital locust
i swear i've uninstalled lenovo welcome like 5 times already, but it keeps appearing
digital locust
..
i didnt know i can do that
i didnt want to touch the os for once because this is the first legitimate copy of windows i've had in my life 
merry comet
the activation code is in the board anyways, so it doesn't matter
automatically activated
digital locust
ya, so i should technically clean install windows cause i have the code
merry comet
i would even go as far as gutting the Windows ISO
but eh, the gain doesn't feel that much noticeable
digital locust
i've looked at that for 12 years of my life until i got the free upgrade on all my computers to windows 10 xd
digital locust
i would even go as far as gutting the Windows ISO
not sure what that means
but to reinstall windows, can i just do that on this laptop without a bootable drive or some sort of cd?
toxic owl
Just use a usb
digital locust
and do i have to use windows 11? or can i get windows 10 or something lol
and sorry i dont mean to bombard you guys with questions, i am just excited to finally have a nice laptop i can fine tune to my liking
merry comet
would still prefer Windows 11 in this case
digital locust
kk gonna look into how i can do that :D
toxic owl
Win10 messu with 2022 hardware
digital locust
haven't reinstalled windows, but i undervolted
not sure how to describe it but i was told to move the 775 point up to 1650
toxic owl
haven't reinstalled windows, but i undervolted
Push it at 900mv
digital locust
up to 1650?
also that last setting of 1650 at 775 crashed once in the middle of elden ring lol. does that basically mean im making the card do too much (1650 mhz) while giving it too little power (775 mv)?
fiery orchid
CPU is questionable though
how high should it be? i'm getting 1818 single and ~17k for multi
toxic owl
That's ok
merry comet
how high should it be? i'm getting 1818 single and ~17k for multi
Cinebench ?
merry comet
performance mode ?
fiery orchid
performance mode
merry comet
haiyaa low
fiery orchid
everything cleared and boosted it with razer cortex
fiery orchid
haiyaa low
what do i do then?
merry comet
what on earth is Razer Cortex ?
fiery orchid
software to clear up ram and boost performance when you launch a game or smth
merry comet
sounds useless
toxic owl
everything cleared and boosted it with razer cortex
This why u lost approx 1k points
Uninstall that bloatware
Dows nothing
fiery orchid
This why u lost approx 1k points
aight will run the bench after removing that
fiery orchid
I've been loosing some points cuz i need synapse
down from 1818 to 1782 after uninstalling synapse
single
yet to do multi
digital locust
alright, got my copy of windows 11 on a bootable drive lol, gonna get ready to run it tonight
fiery orchid
I've been loosing some points cuz i need synapse
reran it with multi included (still without cortex) both scores down to 1743 and 17435 (single and multi) from 1818 and 17790
toxic owl
thats like margin of error
fiery orchid
uh huh
alright then
i'm reinstalling cortex since i can one click close down programs and bring them back so i actually have usable ram
