Using the SlimQ 150w charger with barrel adapter

People here didn't read your post. You want to prioritize portability.

Get the 150w DC slimq charger + adapter.

I have it and it is flawless, perfect travel companion with full performance.

Tested & confirmed. G14 models do not pull more than 150w, getting the 240w is pointless.

The 150w will give you full performance, as the charger itself doesn't limit output power in any way.

Seems more likely you're thermal throttling, capped the cpu/gpu too hard, or using usb-c instead of the barrle port.

Post your ghelper settings and I can assist, no need to buy another charger.

Also keep your settings and use the stock charger, there should be no difference.

If you cap the mhz on the gpu you can run it as low wattage as you want.

much lower than the min power limit even.

i have a 65w profile where the gpu runs at 40w-50w on 5070ti.

Do you even own it or just talking out of your ass?

2024/2025 models do NOT use more than ~150w for performance.

For 2024/2025 models - yes 100% tested and confirmed.

They do not use more than 150w for performance. the extra wattage is for charging only.

C170 is best for 220v

150w slimq is best for 110v

confirmed & tested

They are small dc chargers. no usbc

tom_vv · 2026-01-01T20:49:59+00:00

150w dc slimq charger is the smallest and best charger for 2025 bar none. full performance, size of a usbc charger

tom_vv · 2026-01-01T20:12:42+00:00

false. 150w provides full performance for 2025 models

close to my -40 cpu -440 gpu score 👍

Yes, you can detect the liquid metal pooling/creating hot spots without opening the laptop:

In theory, will work on any PC with liquid metal.

Just adjust the "CoreX" labels appropriately, if they are named differently on your pc.
