I realize this review is not complete yet but in the CPU tuning section there is no mention of temperature at all? It'd be nice if the reviewer talked about what the temperatures are like once tdp limits removed and undervolted.
Like:
"In the Cinebench test, the processor now only needs about 50 watts at 6x 3.9 GHz, and as we can see, this value can also be kept permanently by the system." <- yes but at what temperature?
"The extreme test with Prime95 requires the processor even more and for the full 6x 3.9 GHz around 61 watts are needed. However, after the 57-watt limit has been used, it is still very good at 3.65 GHz." <- again, temps?
It'd be nice if you put in a table like format actually comparing stock voltage vs undervolted in terms of clock speeds, temps, power consumption. (similar to the xps 15 gaining 15% more performance article)
Also in the temperature section where you talk about stress test with simultaneous GPU load, this is mentioned:
"At the end of the stress test, the processor only works with about 15 watts (which is only sufficient for 6x 1.0 GHz.)" <- does this still occur or improve at all even when tdp limit removed and undervolted aswell?
I also wonder the impact of disabling hyper-threading for all of the above? Like does it help with power consumption, battery life, temperatures and clock rates at all?
Finally, and I guess you're still working on this but in the long term Witcher 3 gaming test, please state what the temperatures are like and cpu/gpu clock speeds along with fps results. (again, maybe another table here would be best) I'm guessing the temps will be in the high 70s or low 80s. Also give the results at stock and when tdp limit removed and undervolted again.
