Hey Master, thanks for taking the time.
After uninstall and reinstall i got 11k and as you said, performance wasn't affected.
However, watch me come back to you when an update of armoury crate will be pushed and i'll get a score in the 9k again.
It's been like this since i got the laptop, it's a gamble depending on armoury crate updates to have full CPU perf or not. There is something wrong (software side) with Dynamic boost that throttles power to the laptop CPU as soon as the GPU+CPU are loaded. Depending of armoury crates updates you either get 9k or 11k =D
I'm sorry for all this back and forth, i love this machine (beside low CPU perf) and it's been one of the best laptop i had in years. I appreciate your help.
Vince,
PS: My unit is in RMA, i should get it back next week for further test. Ty

Manual mode is intended for users who wish to customize the performance to find the right balance between gaming performance, battery life, and silent operation. Turbo mode already provides max performance while minimizing throttling.

MasterC, it has been almost 2 weeks since I had reported the issue of the Zephyrus S17 power throttling at just 55 degrees on the CPU in manual mode due to the absurdly low PL1 at 65W, and I'm still awaiting a resolution from your side. It is strange to see how turbo mode allows free control of power limits over XTU, but manual mode just hard locks the power limit to 65W, and overrides any attempts to break free via XTU/Throttlestop. Youtuber GizmoSlipTech highlighted the same problem in his Zephyrus M16 video as well, and was really disappointed due to the inability to modify power limits through XTU in manual mode.
Kindly intimate on the course of action, as competing laptops from other brands at this price point offer limitless control through XTU/Throttlestop, and Zephyrus S17 shouldn't be an exception. Either don't have those power sliders for Intel laptops in manual mode, or don't 'hard lock' the power limit to 65W, that we just can't get over it. The purpose of manual mode is to give the user more granular control, and not limit the user in any way.

I have the same laptop, GX703 and experiencing the same issue you mentioned.
Asus please fix this and remove the hard lock.

Guys, the explanation of Turbo and Manual modes has been provided - it is not an issue requiring a fix. The modes were defined this way. I have notified appropriate stakeholders to review the decision, but at this point in time - Turbo for max performance, Manual for customizing the balance between performance, battery life, and silent operation.

May I know why my post was deleted? You first claimed a theory that Manual mode balances between performance and silent mode - I showed that the claim is not true, as even performance mode can pull way more wattage.
Is this the kind of service Asus delivers to flagship level customers? I spent a fortune on this, and when customers post their issues, they are deleted. I have provided all the necessary context which proves that Manual mode is broken on the Zephyrus S17. Is expecting a resolution from Asus wrong?
Even performance mode is performing way better than Manual mode. And deletion of posts just indicates the unwillingness to fix it. I have seen smallest of issues fixed here like Anime Matrix etc, but bigger issues which impact the performance of a machine are just not getting the attention they deserve. Provide a justification as to why this broken Manual mode is acting weird this way, and whether or not Asus values their flagship customers. Don't forget, you all represent ROG brand, and the S17 represents the most expensive device from ROG, and it should be given the most preference when it comes to issues, and customers certainly deserve better treatment than what is being rendered here.
