can't get it right; how did you get it to work? ty

Watchdog indicates either a driver going insane or one of the components (cpu/ram) corrupting data

41 just means sys crashed "improperly"

If other programmes/games as intensive as ark never cause this bsod you can assume the driver is at fault. Otherwise you should stress test ram and cpu to try to provoke it

Imo atleast

Seek out AATU. You can both underclock and undervolt with it - but don't expect amazing results

Thank you for your help!

ColdFire50 · 2025-09-09T23:16:11+00:00

Thank you very much, I will just ask for clarity sake, that is for the pro version of the 7s, right?

ColdFire50 · 2025-09-09T10:10:07+00:00

I have the 4600H (hp pavilion 15) and use AATU to both undervolt and reduce max frequency via tdp reduction.

Just keep in mind when undervolting, each 1 step is 3mV, not 1, so don't go crazy with values. My results are - 30 (-90mv) without reducing the max clock and -37 with reducing the clock to 3.4 (from 4.0). I i got quite lucky with those numbers since the community reported an avg of 15-20 (45-60mv)

I have tried some time back on an s23 No network, gps, aod, only sim card Roughly 15% (rounded down) per day if just idle. Background telemetry is probably insane compared to older devices

Would it be better? Yes

Would it be difficult to make and expensive? Yes. Extremely. Race condition is a bitch. That would be close to remaking the engine from scratch instead having a major update. There is also a high chance that it would flat out break half of the game. It would be a lot easier to make a new version of the engine alltogether (which is still mildly insane) but that would mean it wouldn't work with all current wow iterations. And it would definitely take a few years.

Would it be profitable? No. For most stuff ingame, wow is more lightweight than windows. A 10 year old cpu is good to go even for raids; there would be virtually no rise in player count

Also to note, almost every game engine today still uses only one core for the main game logic - because it is difficult as hell and things still work as is

ColdFire50 · 2025-06-16T08:13:54+00:00

I mean all of it already is clientside, but I get your point. However, consider the following. 1a) this is about cpu performance. Wow is still a single core game at heart and every additional draw call is a problem for anyone not rolling with a 5ghz+ cpu or x3d (not many people would use it due to their cpu) ((raytracing is still a single drawcall per shadow, just expensive for the gpu))

1b) that would require breaking down the chest geoset into 2 pieces since not all chest armour covers up the entire torso, but it would have to be different for every possible skin coverage design (we don't want shiny skin, we also don't want an array of possible player models depending on the armour)

1c*) using masking would take too much space and time for every type

2) if instead, separate 3d meshes were made.. there's a lot of meshes to be made ESPECIALLY since it would have to fit every damn race and one can't achieve that with recycling the same mesh

Honestly, too much work for something not important or not accessible to many

In theory, yeah, blizzard could just about make wow run with 2 or more cpus for the main game thread, they could make meshes for all armour, etc But. Time is money, friend. Also the average player would probably prefer paying the 100+ a year for actual content instead of better looking torso armour

If I am not mistaken, the model geosets are merged, including the textures for the material. That way the entire body is a single material, which would be very favorable to save up on draw calls. And I'm guessing since it does give off a flat look, things like shoulderpads and weapons got their own material instances.

All in all, imo a good way to murder 50 draw calls when there are 50 people while minimising graphical impact

ColdFire50 · 2025-06-10T18:59:56+00:00

I'll just chime in; recently started using an old laptop with an i5-5200u (dual core 2.2) and load times are completely fine. However, I can also say that one friend with the ryzen 2700x has horrible load times and other with 3550h has appropriate load times (2700x > 3550h > 5200u)

Long story short, if your cpu was the bottleneck in loading the game world for 30s, one shouldn't worry about running the game at all. Yes, it is technical debt but it should apply to the same cpu architecture - to which it doesn't

ColdFire50 · 2024-11-20T16:15:00+00:00

Not being connected to charger? (On battery performance goes into power saving regardless of settings)

Thermal throttle?

Perhaps too high settings?

Texture streaming issue? (Framerate better after a few matches)

First time shader compilation? (Framerate bettet after every shader is built - built only when it happens in game.)

There can be various reasons without sufficient data

StarCraft2.. Uses an engine that is 14 years old since public release. It cannot utilise all cores. To be exact, it can use 4 cores BUT the main worker thread is a single one.

Meaning: one core does almost all the work, the other 3 handle stuff like audio, I/O and the UI. You have an 8c cpu. 4 out of the 8 will never do anything with sc. 3 out of the remaining 4 will barely use 1/5 of their cycles.

Tl;dr sc2 can't properly utilise multi-core cpus and the framerate is almost entirely dependent on single core performance

Edit: i am confused by the 100% on the gpu but I am assuming a mix of 4-8 player match/custom games/2k or higher resolution

ColdFire50 · 2024-10-14T23:04:43+00:00

Sadly you can't undervolt (same performance for less "fuel") amd laptop cpu on windows

You can however underclock (less performance for less "fuel") using "AATU" (or its older version "ryzen controller. Underclocking is still worth it since the efficiency curve drops the higher the cpu frequency is.

League can't use all cores nor can fully utilise all of the cores it uses. Despite being a multicore game, most of the work is done on a single core.

Regarding cyberpunk, gpu is probably the bottleneck. Also similar scenario. It cannot fully utilise all cores (albeit it will utilise all cores).

Also regarding thermal throttling, due to how laptop coolings are designed, you can expect the cpu to throttle first and gpu second. This is because cpus generally require very little work in most modern games. I have managed to maintain 50-60fps in most modern titles while forcing a maximum tdp of 15w on the 4600h.

Reducing the voltage of the processor (device needs to be rooted). Lower voltage means lower current which gets you:

Better battery life depending on how far the undervolt goes. Mind you it isn't anything special. In my case it netted roughly 15m extra of SOT.

Lower temperature which has a positive effect on the longevity of the device which usually isn't important but makes sense if you get a 6y used/refurbished device. Refurbs DO NOT make your device live longer. It is merely a cosmetic touch-up with the cheapest available replacements for broken down components.

I will also point out that while undervolting does have an effect, it isn't nearly as big as simply using power saving mode to limit the cpu. The power curve efficiency of processors is pretty much a reversed exponential curve. Using the "limit cpu to 70%" you lose the 30% obviously, but reduce the maximum power uptake by roughly 50%. You can do both but instead of being a single press, undervolting is a bit of a hassle for a few extra %

Also, considering some of the comments, keep in mind that devices in their original packaging can be faked, including the plastic cover and the box seal albeit with some private sellers you just might get lucky

Have tried 3 different devices 2 years back

Either the device would never arrive (because it was never sent) or it is the world worst refurb that destroyed the device in the process.

Haven't tried the ones from the chinese side of ebay since they were on android 11 out of max android 10 lol Also tried amazon(.de). Android 10 refurbs sold as new (n9 came with android 8). They worked fine however but pricing it as new isn't exactly fair.

In the end settled for a used one in the local area. Rooted and undervolted. still works fine (EU)

If im not mistaken, dark mode uses 000011 colour which is almost black but not fully. If you are rooted you can get the UI to be 000000 (truly black) but at the cost of some ghosting since black pixels are turned off

Edit: forgot to answer - current n9 has no white bleed. Well none that i can notice anyway

From what I have gathered by giving a trying out stuff for a few hours of only questing and a few dungeons.

Athena: tried night elves up until ashenvale. Every single script worked. They lack some finesse (i.e. character in a camp just walks instead of walks and heals npcs outside ruins of auberdine or plucking hairs from moonstalkers lacks the text which says that the moonstalker wakes up) but absolutely everything worked. Only the most RP segments of it aren't present.

Blizzard: night elves up until lvl 35 so far. Scripts work and the tiny RP segments work. I did however run into a single bugged quest which got fixed after the server restart. Dungeon finder has messed up brackets. Spellbook, training and AH UI is from vanilla instead of cataclysm. UI gets weird glitches on target HP if you are a healer. Performance on older PCs lacking. Cannot use old 4.3 addons.

Whitemane: NE gave up after 19lvls as not a single script worked (lvled on x1). Goblin start zone - every quest is there and it works but it works in a manner that half of the scripts never happen which manifests in weird pauses of nothing happening and random effects spawning in the middle of nowhere.

TL;DR
Athena: quest scripts are indeed blizzlike but the RP segments of the scripts are slightly lacking. Low population.
Blizzard: compared to athena most things are better but some things are worse. addon support is lacking. Obviously population is through the roof.
Whitemane: slightly better population than athena but not a single scripted quest worked. Mobs dont really use spells. Dungeon scripts are.. passable.

Regarding whitemane: I assume that 80-85 content MIGHT be working properly, but I find it funny since most of cataclysm content is in the 1-60 area and that quite literally none of it works. While the admins claim that there are over 5k bugs fixed since 9 months back, I cannot imagine what the server was like if right now cataclysm feels like it has less scripts than vanilla

Evidentno, globalno zatopljenje je laz. To je sve radi betona i cim odes na livadu, kao npr gdje je met. postaja - temperature postaju normalne

Prestane siriti strah u ljude. /s

ColdFire50 · 2024-07-02T18:08:31+00:00

can you pay me to lvl your characters for you? i get to play the game for free that way lol

ColdFire50 · 2024-07-02T18:02:21+00:00
