Not a software issue. Have already checked everything you mentioned.

I seem to have found the issue though - I'm constantly hitting the 100 deg C limit of my processor at max load so it throttles down and thus hampers performance:

Solution: Undervolting via Throttlestop. 90mV undervolt on the processor and 30mV on the GPU. My temps dropped by an average of 10 degrees even at full load:

Laptop now keeps at higher Turbo Boost for longer, even maintaining peak clock speed of 4 GHz.

Was gonna reco throttlestop if high temps were found. 15w(ish?) cpu and its still overheating. It could be the thermal paste. I got some tools and thermal paste for a laptop upgrade for one fam member.

Yan yung nuclear option ko - change the thermal paste. But I would assume an X1 Carbon would be well-built enough not to need thermal paste replacement in less than 2 years.

Thankfully nasolve ng undervolting.

Kaya naman.
Basya goods GPU pati RAM.

Namimili pa ako ng GPU pero I'll go with Nvidia over AMD GPU

Future proof na [emoji16]

Ngayon lang ako ulit nag AMD after 14 years siguro.
Atlhon 64 last na AMD ko, tapos Intel na.
Pentium 4, Dual Core, Core 2 Quad, i3, i5. Then eto ngayon Ryzen.

Susprised that they had this type of CPU na.

Needs video card to run flight sim. Add 20k to this build to run flight sim with a RTX 2060

Those 285s have the worst coil whine when overclocked.

Finally completed the desktop last night. Surprisingly it was a 1-click start

Ryzen 3 3100
Gigabyte B450M DS3H - packaged with the CPU
2x8gb Ripjaws 3200
Gigabyte 1650 Super Windforce
Kingston 500gb M2 SSD
FSP 80+ PSU

Thermals are a bit compromised because the PCI WIFI card is blocking 1/4 of one of the GPU's fans. Shouldn't be a big issue though. The room it resides in has AC anyway.

Came in under my 30k budget with a cheap case that included 3 RGB fans. Got all the parts from two stores in Glorietta.

I was trying to research keyboard, especially mechanical ones. Langya, lalim pala nito, may specs din, such as hot swappable, red switch, blue switch brown, etc.

We have 3 mechanical keyboards: my wife is using Romer-G switches; I'm using Cherry Reds; and my youngest son is using Outemu Blues. Maingay daw yung Outemu Blue and halata na naglalaro sya madaling araw so he's trying to offload that to his older brother and getting something quieter. We're looking at either Outemu Reds or Browns as budget options.

Malalim yan pero satisfying gamitin. Sabi nga ng isang YouTuber "once you go clack you never go back".

Finally after 3 months...my warranty replacement of my defective memory was honored By Dynaquest. Grabe sobrang hassle to get warranty honored.

2x16gb 3600 mhz gskill rgb ram.

I don't game that much but the keyboard I wanted had to be backlit. I went for the Logitech G413 which happens to be a gaming keyboard. It uses Romer-G tactile switches.

A lot of people say that the Romer-G is similar to the feel of a Cherry MX Brown switch.

Cherry MX:

Red: Linear with no bump
Blue: Tactile with a bump
Brown: Somewhere in the middle of Red and Blue

What happened? Naka gskill din kami pero 2x8gb 3200 mhz lang. Got them from PCX. Kakatawa ang packaging parang benta lang sa tiangge haha

Perfect ang G413 for my wife's office. Di sya scandalously loud and looks semi-pro pa rin dahil red lang ang backlight. Naiinggit nga mga clients nya especially seniors dahil umiilaw daw pwede gamitin sa gabi.
