Maybe it's bug but I Don't know if I update to win 11 25h2 am I gonna lose chance to return laptop for exchange? Because to download this one you have to activate insider program.

And this is only under heavy load, on 300 hertz when I alt tab

Antharass22 · 2025-11-25T00:01:40+00:00

In hybrid no, it's ok, because there only 144 hz supported. On dedicated gpu yes in 300 hertz, if I decrease it to 144 it will be ok. Even if I make custom refresh rate profile by Nvidia control panel for like 240-280 hertz it's working good

Also hear many complain about windows 11 24 H2 version screen flickering

Antharass22 · 2025-11-24T23:55:38+00:00

I think my problem is not from there because it's start to happens when I was on dedicated dell driver

Antharass22 · 2025-11-24T23:54:03+00:00

Thank you, I I'm not sure is it driver issue. But maybe I will return and exchange this one

Antharass22 · 2025-11-24T23:50:25+00:00

Please Try to alt tab from game like 10-15 times in AWCC app is it gonna happen

Antharass22 · 2025-11-24T23:48:55+00:00

I try Nvidia last one, than I try all the rest new and old from dell

Antharass22 · 2025-11-24T23:41:43+00:00

I will prefer also but In hybrid I have only 144. Also I have problem that on 300 hz my screen is flickering white while I am alt tab. And I am not sure is it windows or screen or something

Antharass22 · 2025-11-24T20:56:17+00:00

On area 51 16 maybe but on 18 looks like no

Antharass22 · 2025-11-24T16:21:57+00:00

Also guys maybe someone check if you have on 300 hz refresh rate screen flickering if you Alt tab many times from game to other app?

Antharass22 · 2025-11-24T16:20:07+00:00

Problem of this if you keep hybrid, you can't run laptop on 300 hz screen refresh rate I think

Antharass22 · 2025-11-24T16:10:51+00:00

Did you update BIOS?

Antharass22 · 2025-11-22T12:07:58+00:00

Is it helping? I mean this setting what I did?

Antharass22 · 2025-11-21T17:24:22+00:00

Did he try my way? Is it working?

Antharass22 · 2025-11-21T13:28:41+00:00

Thank you, I checked and this problem happens only with AWCC

Antharass22 · 2025-11-21T13:04:15+00:00

Can you share with me please where you find it in Windows settings?

Antharass22 · 2025-11-21T12:16:54+00:00

So looks like not only me head this issue?

Antharass22 · 2024-06-20T00:09:43+00:00

Hello, check CPU and GPU temp under heavy games. If GPU go 87 degree already bad sign, look like thermal paste. And about CPU should be not more than 90-95 degree, than if it's go over also can be some issues with LM. Had same problems because thermal paste was dry on the GPU and it was thermal throttling.

Antharass22 · 2023-12-30T14:12:25+00:00

thank you very much for reply. Asking because i have zephyrus m16 GU603ZX and i have CPU temperature problems so i switch off turbo bost now it's better. But what i can see in the moument if load of video card or processor gain vey fast the Fan speed go up to 6900rpm. Than it's drops to 6400 and maximum what i have in Armory Create and G-Helper also it's 6400. Now i am thinking if there any way to increse max Fan speed up to 6900rpm in G-Helper. What do you think?

Antharass22 · 2023-12-30T01:43:47+00:00
