I've used TFX on an older laptop which has a 45W TDP cpu (originally it had 35W) and suffered some overheating issues. Right now with TFX applied...
Acer support sent me an email about this UEFI update and they speculate its just security updates but that I should directly contact Insyde. I...
If you can continue to use this machine as is (Even at slightly diminished frequencies), do so, and bide your time. I wouldn't recommend buying a...
They really should do that. And while manufacturers are perfectly happy taking your money... they don't really like to admit any faults or doing...
Either that, or invoke consumer rights with the shop you got the laptop from, and have them give you the refund. I had a BAD experience with Asus...
I've gotten this thermal paste too. My PH517-61 (in the signature) temperatures went up by about 10 degrees from their usual threshold... probably...
Oh yes, I forgot about MSI. I stand corrected. As for SmartShift being a Dell only thing... this is something I don't agree with because...
Excellent work. Glad that my suggestion provided 'some' help. Enjoy your 'new' laptop. ;-)
Not accurate. AMD did release Navi for laptops (5600m and 5700m) which had excellent efficiency and peformance (same or better than NV...
I don't think there's much to worry about. Have you tried removing the undervolt (or slightly increasing the voltage to the CPU) to see whether...
Yup. Plus latest drivers also increased performance and resolved some issues we experienced when Navi was first launched... latest Windows updates...
The CPU is not soldered... but because Acer never put out any relevant microcode updates for the laptop, I'm stuck with Ryzen 2700 and can go up...
What about my Vega 56? That's more or less comparable performance-wise... actually, should be on par... except of course no RTX (which I don't...
It is highly unlikely that the OEM's are using separate thermal compounds on CPU and GPU. Cost efficiency is a primary factor for manufacturers,...

Were you able to try the optional Insyde update for the BIOS and if the 3950x worked in PH517-61?
Btw, I've been upgrading the GPU drivers without issues lately via the Adrenaline control panel. Seems the Recommended + Optional needs to be...
I'm using Brave. For exactly 1 website, I have to use Chrome (compatibility issue it seems - but the website previously worked fine with Brave...
Don't think it would be too much of a big deal. You could grab the latest bios (off Windows of course) and just apply the thermal paste on the CPU...
Exactly, but more to the point, the PH517-61 can also fairly easily run 2700x (a 105W TDP cpu) without huge temperatures on it... meaning that...
