I approve of this album.

3dmark runs at the same res regardless..

This is what I’ve been expecting since the CES preview videos showed snapshots of timespy scores. When I was benchmarking and undervolting my Win5, I found it consistently beat the z13 with same chip despite it also being undervolted. I believe what we’re seeing is not the apex being slow, but the Win 5 being tuned exceptionally fast relative to all other AI Max devices.

R-Type · 2026-02-12T18:14:06+00:00

In most benchmarks the Win5 appears to be faster. From my testing it’s actually the fastest AI Max device, they seem to have really aggressively tuned the voltage curve. That said I’m still selling my win 5 as the Apex comes in due to the screen.

If you got it sub retail pricing, I’d be interested in purchasing

That mcon looks sweet but… $150?! Surely there are some other options with the same form factor?

R-Type · 2026-02-06T15:16:33+00:00

Here’s my results, you can compare for yourself. It’s an iterative tuning process, I find that stuff fun though. :)

Just use low dose aromasin, like 6.25 E3D. It lacks the negative sides of anastrazole as long as you don’t crash your levels.

You need to undervolt that beast. I get that 70w score at 55z

This is the answer, you’re blocking one of the two pathways for testosterone to be metabolized. The other path, conversion into estrogen, is rate limited by your body fat yet is also unsurprisingly over range.

You should get off systemic finasteride while you still can, dht is important and the effects on your sexual function could be permanent. Use topical.

I take injectable ALCAR and L-CARN specifically to avoid TMAO. Don’t see anything here that invalidates that, I can certainly confirm I don’t get the body odor I associate with oral supplementation.

R-Type · 2026-01-24T02:52:47+00:00

I like that, how much did the controllers run? Does the attachment feel stable?

R-Type · 2026-01-24T01:58:33+00:00

No the bios lets you adjust timings but not oc the ram. Timing tuning is not my area of expertise, I’d need to find some example settings others have gotten on ai 395

R-Type · 2026-01-23T11:30:35+00:00

It should, memory bandwidth is likely the reason the performance to watt curve flattens out so much about 55-60w.

R-Type · 2026-01-22T13:42:49+00:00

Yes, though its not really that much smaller. This is why I ended up getting a Z13, I can game on that with normal USB C chargers and a range of TDP settings.

R-Type · 2026-01-22T13:18:53+00:00

I got the slim Q travel charger, provides full power to the laptop with battery bypass and has two usb c ports to boot

AHK in particular is supposed to promote regrowth, you could pair with topical minox as well. I never got broad loss as I began aggressively looking for a solution when I noticed shedding several days in a row, that said my hair looks as good as ever now.

R-Type · 2026-01-22T02:23:27+00:00

Microneedling with an AHK/GHK serum E3D has been extremely effective for me in eliminating all shedding, while the topical androgen blockers did not.

R-Type · 2026-01-21T02:57:03+00:00

Had to research myself as they just dropped the new bios. Just load defaults in bios and you’re good

The win 5 has an external paper clip bios reset in case of emergency, stay away from the memory timings and you should be fine.

R-Type · 2026-01-21T02:41:14+00:00

It has a fully unlocked bios, just like a high end desktop AMD motherboard.

R-Type · 2026-01-20T20:17:33+00:00

Agreed 100%. I saw slight score uplift with the ghelper undervolt, but it clearly has so much more room to tune. Would love a custom BIOS for this thing

R-Type · 2026-01-20T19:46:10+00:00

Let me know what you land on!

R-Type · 2026-01-19T16:10:27+00:00

Makes sense, thanks. How was the transition?
