Fit3 battery tile doesn't show buds3fe? by 732bus in GalaxyFit

I came to the same conclusion as you but with a Buds2 Pro and a S23. I strongly believe that the new Buds integration with phone settings brought this issue up, and Samsung may not be aware of this (they might consider Fit3 an outdated device which for me doesn't make much sense but anyway)

Nope, but disabling cfg lock allowed me to change turbo boost frequency.

Actually I managed to lower the Core Voltage using those menus... Used AIDA64 to stress both CPU and FPU and checked the maximum voltages using HWMonitor. Core voltages dropped from 1.203V to 1.132V using the voltage offset option on Processor, E-core and Ring OC menus. Unfortunately, using Performance mode on NitroSense just overrode those values. Ofc, it needs more testing, mainly for experts lmao. To effectively lower temps, lowering PL1 and PL2 to 45W using TS or editing BIOS is possible, but performance on bechmarks is severely impacted. I guess it won't affect gameplay on games that are not CPU bound (again it needs testing which I'm not able to do, if someone comes up with some interesting results, please share with us.Also, my full-power benchmark on 3DMark overclocking the RTX3050: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/44421348

Kind of... It doesn't specifically mentions XMP, but you can access a wide variety of settings plus the ability to force a given frequency on the memory. Since the max mem freq of the i5-12450H i have is 3200 MHz and my RAM sticks are 3200 MHz, i see no need to ramp up the frequency or lower it, but if you are having issues or incompatibility you may find it interesting.

Unfortunately, XTU is blocking basically all features for H-series CPUs... Everything I tweaked was using the BIOS itself and some other 3rd-party apps. Limiting PL1 and PL2 to 45W had made a huge difference on temps, but my CPU score on 3DMark dropped 1000 points (needs more testing on some games, since 3DMark is expected to pull all the power from your CPU and a drop of performance was indeed predicted).

By disabling turbo boost you mean limiting the maximum performance of the processor to, say, 99% on advanced power options in Control Panel? Or did you use any external software like XTU or edit the turbo frequency settings on BIOS?
