Major i7 12700H Performance issue.

[ajena]

Hello guys,
ASUS Tuf F15, i7 12700H, RTX 3060. While "Plugged in" and gaming.

I have observed a huge issue with the 12700H CPU, this happens only when the battery drops from 100% to 99% while gaming when plugged in,  the CPU power consumption drops from 45 to 25 Watts, Which causes the reduction of total power draw.

The screenshots below show the average power of CPU and GPU before and after the battery reaches 99%, you can see the battery level in the last column.
Avg clock speed of the CPU decreases as well.

This causes a performance drop in every game significantly.
The CPU Electrical design point becomes "YES" when the battery drops to 99%.

BIOS is Updated.
Drivers are updated.
Win 11 Home
Performance power plan
Basics covered.

Any way to fix this?

Hello, sorry for reviving a 2-year old thread but have you found a solution to this? I am using the same model and have the exact same problem (CPU wattage dropping, clocks dropping to base as if I had CPU Turbo turned off); I can't seem to find the solution to it. It would be greatly appreciated if you reply

Hey man, I am glad to see I am not the only one who noticed this as the whole tech community seems to be oblivious of this issue. However I am sad as well that you have to face this issue.

Unfortunately, the power limit is placed by Intel on purpose to limit the performance. And there is no fix. Shady practice by Intel.

**bleep**, that's a major bummer. I tried disabling Dynamic Boost through NVCleanstall (based on your TechPowerup thread of uninstalling Armoury Crate, which disabled Dynamic Boost), but that also proved to be futile. Thanks for the response, though
