That's true. I've done some gaming until now and everything is running just fine. Guess those cheap tapes wouldn't be much of a problem then.

The PSU is Antec BP450P with GALAX REV-07 case. Yes, there is one tape at the other end and that's all of them. With those tapes, the psu will raise a bit high and can't be properly screwed with the case no matter how hard I push the psu down. Anyway, I decided to remove the tapes (oops)...

I tried to keep those tapes but the PSU won't fit the screw holes. View: https://imgur.com/a/VuwYjVB

But I clearly pressed the Insert key without touching the right side and the Novo Button Menu still showed up.

The laptop is Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16ARH7 I pressed the Insert key when my laptop was turned off. Then the machine suddenly boot up and display a Novo Button Menu screen with these options: Normal Startup BIOS Setup Boot Menu System Recovery UEFI Diagnostics The Insert key somehow acted like...

Thanks man, the problem has been haunting me for a long time. I kept searching the internet and there's little to no information about this unique 3050.

Ok so we can summarize that this 3050 has the Maximum Clock of a 80w variant but it's TGP won't exceed 65w. Referring to the TGP chart above, Im thinking that the GPU was specially customized. What do you say about this inconsistency?

Sorry my bad, what I meant was TGP. But why are you showing the 3050 ti instead of 3050? And the psref link you provided belongs to a Legion 5 Pro, not the Ideapad 5 pro I was talking about. I just want to make things clear.

Actually the laptop is an Ideapad but I don't see any TDP mentioned in spec sheet https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/IdeaPad/IdeaPad_5_Pro_16ARH7?MT=82sn#

The laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16ARH7 equipped with an RTX 3050. On Nvidia Control Panel it shows that the GPU's Max Graphics Power is 65w which I have tested through Heaven Benchmark 4.0. However, the Graphics Boost Clock seems relatively low at 1057 Mhz. According to this article, I...

Aw thanks man, that's one thing to note down.

Yeah the card hasn't been through any heavy workload, I mostly use it to play League Of Legends.

I got it brand new at my local store with 3 years warranty back in 2020, pretty sure it was legit.

Well, I accidentally plugged the hdmi cable into the motherboard (which should be the dGPU instead) and things got <Mod Edit> messed up since then. I thought it was normal to switch display adapter just by changing ports, no?

Motherboard: ASUS PRIME H510M-K Bios version: 2001, 02/01/2023 CPU: i3-10100 iGPU: Intel UHD 630 dGPU: Radeon RX 570 4gb, Driver: 31.0.14057.2005, 5/12/2023 PSU: Antec BP450P OS: Windows 11 22H2 I'll make it brief. I firstly powered up the PC and connected the monitor's hdmi cable to the...
