Laptop model: Lenovo Legion 5 15AC6H
Laptop specs
CPU - Ryzen 7 5800H
GPU - RTX 3060 130w
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 2TB
So, I have been having this issue since the past few months where i would notice that at a power level of say 25 watts, the temps would sometimes be 55 C and sometimes as high as 80 C. This was all at roughly the same room temp and the exact initial fan speed of 2500. what would happen is at idle it would be at 5 to 10 watts and temps at 45 to 50. then after running a load, id get those wild variation of temps.
I have tried repasting it several times. for the first few days, it runs predictably and is cool (85 C at 80w for a laptop). but then after a week, it starts doing these weird things. the reason i am posting this is because when i increase the power limit to 54w ( the cpus actual tdp), itll go to 100 C even though just a week ago it ran 80w fine. if the issue is the contact between the cold plate and die getting wonky, how to solve it?
The gpu temps remain constant and predictable always, so i think its the contact getting off because of some reason or AMD doing weird stuff like if all 25w is going to 1 core, it will get very hot and if the 25w goes to all cores, then overall temps are going to be low. but it still doesnt explain the 100 C at 54w under all core load after just a week of repasting.
