RyzenAdj VS atrofac

Out of curiousity how the 7840HS performs at different TDP, I did some benchmarks using Geekbench 6.2.0. To change the TDP, I've used the software RyzenAdj like so:

TLDR: Ryzen Adj.

A few years ago I did a bunch of poking w/ a 4800H, you can see the actual mechanics of using RyzenAdj. There are also Geekbench 5 benchmarks linked from the doc at different power limits which you can compare to 4800U devices on Geekbench's site: https://github.com/lhl/linuxlaptops/wiki/2020-MECHREVO-Code-...

Note, each laptop manufacturer may choose their different power limits (and like Intel, AMD's curves are largely driven by temperature, so dependent on cooling solution and other settings).

This is a good summary of some of how Ryzen Mobile's power limiting works (actually, read that whole wiki if you're interested in the topic): https://github.com/FlyGoat/RyzenAdj/wiki/Renoir-Tuning-Guide

I'd also look up "AMD PMF" (their equivalent of DPTF) which only recently made it's way to the Linux kernel (but of course, that will include loads of details anyone can look through): https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-PMF-CnQF-Linux-6.1

That app just uses (under the hood) this one https://github.com/FlyGoat/RyzenAdj - g-helper not using that , as it requires admin rights to run :)

Atrofac - works on all models - offers only power profile switching & fan curve adjustments - more custom fan curves can be defined - download from https://github.com/cronosun/atrofac

Atrofac (Optional) - if you want to set up a custom fan curve. https://github.com/cronosun/atrofac

Atrofac GUI https://github.com/cronosun/atrofac - a lightweight utility to switch between power profiles (Silent / Performance / Turbo). It's designed for 2020 model, but it works for 2022 too. Main trick here that it's not only adjusting fan-modes that many other apps do, but also adjusts overal TDP of a CPU/GPU! (125W on Turbo, 60W on Performance, etc)

Stop using Armory Crate and you will be able to

ASUS fan curves suck. Use atrofac to drive them to about 140% speed

Uninstall that armoury crate shit and use this https://github.com/cronosun/atrofac

Atrofac might work for you
