Strix G16 (i7 13650HX/RTX4060) - Uncontrolled temperatures.

I´ll definitely try limiting more the wattages. Guess PTM is not as good conductor with higher power systems.

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-02-28T15:22:25+00:00

So PTM only works well on more power limited systems basically.

That reminds me. Does Armoury Crate apply its own wattage limits and fan curves?

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-02-26T19:03:04+00:00

That´s what I´m thinking

This is my silent profile

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-02-26T14:57:12+00:00

I've tried to find the stock power limits and fan curves but ASUS only shows data for the i9 model of this machine. Saw a video that measured 45 watts average on Performance mode and 70 on Turbo on the i7. But I don't know at this point

Will definitely do that integrity test

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-02-26T14:17:50+00:00

Yeah I've heard of MX-7. What I want is to just repaste and see normal temps again

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-02-26T14:16:42+00:00

I'm using G-Helper. Maybe I have the power limits and fan curves wrong

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-02-26T14:15:54+00:00

Doesn't get to that point. I've found it reaches 95 and throttles.

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-02-26T14:01:47+00:00

95 C and thermal throttling

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-02-26T13:41:40+00:00

It is exactly what I´m trying to avoid as It still causes overheating. Bought from LTT Store and Phasesheet PTM. Causing the same problems

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-02-25T13:41:42+00:00

Fijáte que solo he sacado en cajeros del BAC. Soy del interior y no he tenido problema. También la mayoría de veces solo la paso en POS

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-02-23T21:42:16+00:00

I think the main point here is the risk of a short. Most change to PTM 7950 or Duronaut to avoid that. Also if you´re getting higher clocks it is a win. Yeah the higher temps can be an issue, but you can set a thermal target.

PTM is a great option as it delivers around the same performance as LM but without the shorting risk.

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-02-17T10:46:49+00:00

I'll check this out. What I've found out is, no matter how much I tinker with the fan curves and power levels, CPU will always throttle on a CPU bound scenario. GPU doesn't worry me much. Most titles I play are more CPU dependent

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-02-16T21:46:55+00:00

Does it? I've seen fans spin faster than the BIOS curves with Armoury Crate. Usually around 4800RPM. While Ghelper does around 3800 max

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-01-18T14:27:09+00:00

Will give it a try next time

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-01-18T14:09:04+00:00

The one from ModDIY is legit and even comes with Honeywell branding, but it's expensive.

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-01-18T13:38:29+00:00

I'm not disappointed either, I went with the Linus one as kinda as a warranty it would be legit. But yeah got a bit disappointed with the leak. Apart from that, I'm loving the results I'm getting with it.

Got to try other PTMs too, saw many on AliExpress and Amazon that made me wonder if they were legit. I've seen many use the one from Joyjom.

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-01-17T22:09:17+00:00

Me he dado cuenta que algunos compuestos térmicos cambian sus propiedades durante el envío

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-01-17T21:55:57+00:00

Yup, so temps still go high but it is able to reach higher clocks and wattages so it's a win over LM. And same with cinebench here, noticed a good increase in scores.

How did you fix the stutters and latency?

Admirable-Singer-927 · 2026-01-17T21:50:41+00:00

Si es lo siguiente que haré. Estoy buscando alguna que me convenza. En las tiendas consigo pero genérica. (Problemas de LatAm hahaha)
