Sorry, didn’t realize I needed to fully reproduce the format, thought it was fine as long as everything was included.

For some reason I can’t fully reproduce the issue right now, as when I went to try and record, it was giving me around 60ish-W on The Finals for some reason, which is more than double the issue and this wasn’t really happening very often at all during troubleshooting for me. It’s still about half the wattage I’m supposed to be getting though, the maximum for my model is 125W.

I mean the answer to your question is in the video

its running extremely hot

#

ofc it will throttle to around 25w / 30w

#

the throttle point is 86c for nvidia gpu's
