Model (Victus Gaming Laptop 16-r1042nt (9J244EA)) i5-14500HX-RTX4060laptop [I'm using Thermalright Helios as thermal paste] [BIOS ver. is F16 newest] [Omen Gaming Hub latest version]
[I tried different voltage settings, now my UV is -0,175v]
In recent weeks, I've been experiencing an issue where my CPU hits its power limit.
My laptop is about 9 months old. This is the first time it's running into power limits — or maybe it was happening before too, but I assumed it was a thermal limit, I’m not sure.
Even though temperatures don’t exceed 90°C, during a 10-minute Cinebench R23 test, the CPU hits its power limit and starts throttling after 2–3 minutes.
The same issue has started happening in games, which has become frustrating.
In a short multi-core test like the 10-second one, it can score 20,000 points. But when extended to 10 minutes, the score drops to around 17,500 due to the power limit.
I’ve also experienced very consistent FPS fluctuations in one or two games I play under certain conditions.
