    No support for the nVidia graphics though. I was hoping for that for my T580 to be able to raise the stupid thermal limits but I seem to be at the mercy of nvidia.

      Do you really want to increase the temperature of your GPU that much? CPUs are more than happy to run at 99c all day, but GPU aren’t so much, especially the bigger ones. The MX150 is pretty small so it should handle it well, but still.

        Well, as it is it throttles at 65° so much that it can’t even handle Quake 3. It’s basically unusable.

          WTF 65 c don’t sound right. Are you sure it’s actually thermal throttling and not power throttling? My P1 throttles it’s CPU when it’s drawing too much power, but hwinfo reports it as prochot or thermal throttling when I disable prochot.

            Yeah, been through a whole lot of troubleshooting and complaining at Lenovo. Eventually I gave up. Getting a Steam Deck cured me of wanting to use the laptop for gaming.
