You can do it natively by unlocking [majorgeeks.com] the Windows power options [microsoft.com]. With Alder Lake you need to unlock MaxFrequency and MaxFrequency1.

Alder Lake's frequency sweet spot is 4GHz for the big cores, and 3GHz for the small cores. Any higher frequency will improve performance at the cost of much higher energy (20% perfomrance boost with 80% more energy). Source[/URL]]

You should limit the big core to 4GHz and the small cores to 3GHz, your PC will perform 20% slower (but a lot of task are not CPU bound, many are disk bound which won't be affected), but it will be 40% cooler. You can also make different power profiles and switch between them if you need to.

Quote from Deanorep :
I purchased this laptop but I'm having issues with bluetooth audio latency. When using headphones there's a full second of delay. I've tested multiple sets of headphones and tried updating the Intel ax211 drivers without any luck. I never had this issue with my m1 Macbook Air. Anyone else having this issue or know how to correct it?
You know better but possible reasons for audio latency on windows 11 (google it for more results)

i played some games on this laptop and temps were getting pretty hot, is there a way to tune/limit it down so it doesn't (even try) to push itself so hard so it doesn't overheat? it's going past 80 C when i push it

I just picked one up at Costco as they were marking them down again.

Tag showed $600 for new in the box, or $500 for the demo model.

Grabbed a new unit, and proceeded out the door.

Ordered a new WDBlack, NVMe850NX installed and pumping 6908 Read, 6353 Write for $107 on Amazon.

Ordered 32 Gb GSkill memory for $67, and will install on arrival. Making a total of 40Gb. 🤣

Hard to beat this little form factor for what it does, and cannot duplicate at this price point.

Anyone installed OS on a new drive on this laptop ? Iam trying but its unable to find the drive in windows 10 setup.
Update- it was very difficult to install 10, difficulty finding drivers. So went back to 11.
Download the storage driver from Asus for this laptop. Install Win7, and click on the Exe file to extrapolate the files. Add them onto your windows creation USB or another USB, and during the Win 11 install, you can point the driver location to the USB and you are up to configuring the drive.

MaxFrequency1 will control the E cores. Follow the article but in addition to 75b0ae3f-bce0-45a7-8c89-c9611c25e100 also unlock 75b0ae3f-bce0-45a7-8c89-c9611c25e101.

I think you should create 3 power profiles. Performance would have it unlocked at 0MHz, Balance should have it at 4000/3000 MHz, and Battery Saving should have it at 3200/2400 MHz.
Am I missing something here, as when I look in my Power Management (Windows 11) it is showing Maximum Power State as 100% on batteries and Plugged In.

Is there something else I need to do?

excellent, thank you - now it shows it. Yet for some reason a few minutes after i change it, it keeps getting set back to 0Mhz (unlimited). is an asus app resetting this maybe?
So it happened for me too. After some Googling, I found out it was a problem with one of Intel's software drivers (Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology Device Extension). I had to disable that device (under software devices in Device Manager) and it no longer resets. And then it worked for a while.

However, after one of the firmware updates to Intel Management Engine (not an ASUS), while the settings won't reset, the setting is not respected by the system. I think Intel has really been messing things up.

My workaround so far is to use ThrottleStop (third party software) to override the power limits to something like 15/21W for my U series processor. For an H processor you probably want the limits to be 28W/35W or something like that, but feel free to play with the power limits. If you don't want to use third party software, you can approximate it with ASUS's OEM software and set it to power savings / cool and quiet power mode, and the power limits should be lower.

For this generation, AMD is really the much better choice.

You need to enable that setting in the registry. I linked it in the post.

Not sure, but I'm the only one complaining about this.
Whenever I connect the laptop to bluetooth headhphone (with mic) and try to record sound in any app (teams, edge, sound recorder), the laptop hangs for few seconds and then it crashes. Yes. Crashes with DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE error. Tried updating all the drivers and bios with same issue.
Has anyone else seeing this on their laptop? Could it be a hardware issue with my laptop?

Performed the registry update and still not seeing the 0Mhz or the ability to see the option to change.

Anyone else having this?
