Hi, I was wondering if ASUS would consider increasing the total TDP of the laptop while plugged in to something like this?
Instead of it's current - 105(GPU) + 18-22watt (CPU)~
I believe the laptop in manual mode with maxed out fans could easily hand a total of 140-150 watts of combined TDP. Running the CPU at 20 watts in GPU intensive work loads really is a bottleneck in a lot of games. The Ryzen 9 HX 370 could really do with an additional 15 watts of CPU power to really stretch the RTX 4070's legs.
There should at least be an option to increase the total TDP of the laptop in the bios for us gamers.
I have tried Undervolting the CPU as well using Ghelper and flashed a vbios which unlocks more power to the GPU. So i set the RTX 4070 to 110watts (105 Watt base + 5 watts dynamic boost) and undervolted the CPU by -20 in GHelper however annoyingly the laptop in all GPU intensive games will run for a minute or 2 at 95-105 watt GPU + 30-35 WATT CPU for a combined TDP of 130-140 WATTS but then the CPU will immediately tank to 18-22Watts making fps Fluctuate alot and then will go back to 30-35 watts, not very stable wattage tbh. Regarding the TEMPS when running at 130-140 watts both the CPU and GPU were below 86 degrees on a flat desk surface. So the laptop can definitely handle more WATTS. Pleaseeee look at this in a future update. That's my only gripe with his laptop, the low CPU TDP in GPU intensive workloads bottlenecks this laptop.
The laptop runs so cool, not hot to the touch at all, it has soo much more room for increasing the total TDP. Even increasing the max temp limit of the RTX 4070 to 90 degrees from 87 would work too.

Not just that but if the battery is charging while gaming in GPU bound scenarios, the CPU wattage can fall to 10-13 watts temporarily and then go back up to 18-22 watts causing more frame drops.
