Out of interest have you booted into BIOS to checked whether you can switch between Discrete and MSHybrid graphics modes? No-one is salty here its just good old fashioned debate and discussion.

Because the wife is out with the kids and I have nothing better to do with my day this has mega peaked my interest, and I have been doing some reading. I have found this Nvidia driver installation guide from 2012, where it discusses installing Linux Nvidia drivers on Optimus laptops with and...

"This is Optimus at work, also known as MSHybrid." From Jarrod. We are agreeing with each other here but perhaps I have not worded my previous post particularly well. The MUX switches between the iGPU (which utilises MSHybrid/Optimus) and the dGPU physically, the MUX does not replace MSHybrid...

Sorry OP I am derailing this thread. MSHybrid and Optimus are exactly the same thing, the MUX is the switch which is used to switch between MSHybrid/Optimus and the dGPU. Laptops have had a MUX switch in them ever since switchable graphics where introduced we just never used to speak about it...

Like I said my old Vortex IX did have a MUX switch and it was a Clevo PB51RF. Back then we didn't refer to the MUX, it was just switchable modes, between Discrete, and Optimus mode which is what the PB51RF had. This was achieved through the MUX. This can be seen in BOAT's review of a PB51RF at...

Fair enough. It was 10 years ago. Sounds like OP is out of luck then. I have seen this list before, It is not complete. I have just had a look through my orders and I was wrong it was my 2019 Vortex which had a MUX in it. It was a Clevo chassis though. That is not on this list. Although I...

I am sure I had a mux switch in my 2012 Vortex and my 2020 defiance and they were both clevo.

Not even the old ones?

Lol this thread did get very confused. So OP for your info this is actually the fix I am not sure why it hasn't been tried yet. I am pretty confident your laptop will have a MUX so you should be able to do this. PSB for two screen shots from my Nvidia Control Panel. the first one is with the...

Hang on a minute. You came into this thread, clearly did not read the entire thing. Made assumptions on @Scott understanding of the most widely known, and important technology in today's gaming laptops, and then decided to publicly announce he and @SpyderTracks are out of the loop in a rather...

already got one.

Well that's it son they've pulled the pin. Hit the deck and cover your head.

That will do you fine for cleaning the old paste off. When it comes to cooling stands my advice is dont get too hung up on fans. I've tried numerous cooling stands over the years, with and without fans, and my personal opinion is the biggest factor to cooling is the gap created under the laptop...

Kudos on that post mate.

Yeh @SpyderTracks is right. The power levels look fine. there is a power limit throttle in one screen shot but i dont think thats your problem. Like Spyder said both your GPU and CPU are getting too hot.

So I can only speak for my Valeon and my old Vyper. They could overclock and underclock but by default they were not enabled. The way the max clocks were achieved was through hard setting the PL values at the BIOS level. I never had to dig into this for any of the Clevo laptops I've owned as...

I go back to my previous post. What you are asking for in this day and age is not standard even in the professional IT space. You really need a bespoke enterprise solution with a considered support wrap. I would contact PCS as a business customer and see what they can do for you.

Ah right. Thanks for the clarification I didn't realise the DTR's use pads.

Yeh the temps are all good, I don't think its thermal throttling, I think its power limit throttling. It is supposedly at 100% utilisation but its only hitting 300Mhz. I appreciate the CPU is on the hot side but its core clock looks fine. I believe the CC is setting the PL for the GPU far lower...

As @SpyderTracks has said your system is throttling. However looking at your screenshots its not your CPU its your GPU. Potentially it is heat related (and your laptop should have had a repaste on the CPU and GPU within the last 6 months) but considering the problems a lot of people have had...
