ryzen-controller VS amd-apu-tuning-utility

Also, you can use the Ryzen Controller software to completely limit the temperature of the CPU. It lowers the performance of the CPU but also lowers the power consumption. Because there is dedicated graphics, for just general tasks like web browsing you can even limit it to 50 degrees and it will not go above that no matter what you do. It makes the PC slower for more intensive tasks so of course you'd want to raise the temperature limit setting when you want to do heavier work. The nice thing is that this method does not create additional noise, it simply lowers the performance of the CPU.

here you go my friend

/u/Number-1Dad circling back, and I'll be damned. After a bit of finnagling, Ryzen Controller is woring rather interestingly. The TDP limiter stops the whole thing short of takeoff.

Ryzen controller got your back. Newest version might not work with your CPU, old one will. The trick here is to limit your iGPU clocks to the lowest possible for everyday usage and let your system decide in gaming. You can also set throttle temp for processor to avoid throttling.

I was looking into using envycontrol to disable the dGPU in linux, and maybe ryzen controller or cpu-power to limit cpu power usage.

I ended up using AATU V2.0.5.1 Stable - https://gitlab.com/JamesCJ/amd-apu-tuning-utility/-/releases

Could the AMD APU Tuning Utility help?

Limitting CPU temperature to 80 degrees, so that no thermal throttling for RTX 3070 I also disabled Turbo Boost of Ryzen 5900HX. Using this; AATU for AMD user.

First, I make sure Hybrid mode is enabled in BIOS, then set default to integrated graphics in nVidia control panel. Next, I set the laptop in Quiet Mode (FN + Q, blue LED). I then use Gminer in admin mode to do the overclocking : I disable P2 state, set a fixed core clock of 1100 MHz, and raised the memory clock boost progressively until 1697 (higher values started to create intermittent errors). I also use AMD APU Tuning Utility (https://gitlab.com/JamesCJ/amd-apu-tuning-utility/-/releases) to reduce the CPU TDP while not using the laptop for anything else than mining. Note that this didn't work so well on my other Legion 5 Pro laptops, who are currently stuck at 66.6+ MH/s with a power usage of 114-115 W. The symptom when it cannot handle these settings is the core clock collapsing several hundred MHz. The silicon lottery seems to play a quite important role in the matter.

As for temps try and mess around with https://gitlab.com/JamesCJ/amd-apu-tuning-utility/-/releases

what you can do that I have had success with is use a program that changes the reported TDP. AMD APU Tuning Utility it has a list of presets for APUs that up the TDP and boost parameters to allow more performance.

I also use AMD APU Tuning Utility (https://gitlab.com/JamesCJ/amd-apu-tuning-utility/-/releases) to reduce the Ryzen CPU's TDP while it is just mining. OF course I don't use the integrated custom fan curve settings as they are dedicated for Asus laptops. Next, the Lenovos don't seem to benefit from disabling nVidia Dynamic Boost 2.0, so don't waste your time trying that, it seems to only help on a very few number of models from other brands. If you only have a single laptop and fear higher room temperatures this summer, you can also buy one of these cheap small USB fans to add some air flow. Just leave it on the desk pointed at your laptop (towards the backside if you have room for it).
