Interesting, how do you switch between the different modes and control the LED keyboard without it?

I don't need this features. If I need low power mode for what ever reason I'll make a profile in it for ryzen master but for now I run full power at all times.Interesting, how do you switch between the different modes and control the LED keyboard without it?
Yes using a cheap 120mm fan cooling pad.
Considering a return though as PBO doesn't function due to software locking in the firmware. Didn't spend 2k on a laptop to have hardware features locked away.

This is a brand new chassis. The XMG Apex 15 is the same model and they were talking about unlocking advanced controls short after the release, if it helps. I'm not sure how we will know about a BIOS update for ours though.
It's not acceptable from a trading standards point of view though. Such limitations should be clearly advertised during the sale of a product as it is a feature of the AMD processor in question.

Then write to PCS and complain.
Already have done, that's how I found out officially that it has been locked down.
My reply to them has been to explain why I am unhappy and that such restrictions have to be clearly disclosed.
Also requested the non locked down bios which I know exists
The rationale was that the laptops are only designed for a 65w tdp so PBO is disabled.
However the ppt is set to 88w which means it's already out of spec anyway a marginal increase to 95w ppt would net a decent uplift in multithread performance.
For example this is what 95 ppt in manual mode can acheive with a little bit of voltage optimisation.
I agree it's limitation and should be mentioned somewhere, maybe in detailed description? I see you got blender, may i know how eevee and cycles perform using optix acceleration?Already have done, that's how I found out officially that it has been locked down.
