I know this isn't a overclock part o
f this forum website site but it is a AMD CPU and don't exactly know where to put it in the overclocking care.

Laptop specs and other information:

Laptop: Lenovo Thinkpad L14 gen 2a
Cpu: Ryzen 5 5650u
IGpu: Rx Vega 7
Ram: 16gb 3200mhz
OS: Windows 11

I got this new laptop, perform pretty well and pretty decent cooling sitting at 55-65 Celsius at 25 Watts TDP, so I thought that I should increase the TDP since of the thermal Room. I Installed Ryzen controller which didn't work, I installed AATU and AMD uProf and ran both at the same time, watched many videos and still cant get it to work.

I found that i can decrease the TDP but cant make it go above 25 watts, when I apply a preset for 30 watts and do a benchmark for the first 1 second the TDP jumps to 30 then goes back to 25.

I have no clue on how I can actually remove the limit, I'm thinking it might be some Lenovo power mode which is a part of a windows battery setting(Attached Image) where it switches from best battery efficiency to balanced to Best performance, when switching, the TDP limit changes to different amounts along with fan rpm changing. when choosing Best Performance it goes to 25W TDP. I am thinking you might be able to change something in the Registry but I really hope it isn't a bios or hardware problem, any thoughts and ideas are well appreciated

Thank you.

Its hard limited. Nothing you can do about it.

Yeah the thing is when I try spamming the apply button it would sit at 30w but when I stop it would go back to 25Watts, I think it might be the bios. as well when I do a bench mark the TDP its nearly exactly 25.00 watts and varies around 0.02 - 0.05.

Its not that I'm in denial but its just makes sense not to jump to the conclusion so quickly.

You can try the numerous tools that manage the AMD APU TDP, like the one below.

i had the exact same issue, i fixed it using the auto reapply from settings, try it out!
