Hello,
1. I read the review from CNX where it was stated that that the PL1 limit in the BIOS can be 'safely disabled for testing'.
What's the official stance on disabling the PL1 limit for standard use? In testing with PL1 disabled, temperatures remained under 80°C at full load on the CPU and iGPU due to the excellent cooling solution with an ambient temperature of 28°C.
2. I have searched for more information on the fan specifications, but have not been able to find documentation. Is there a technical sheet stating max RPM and default fan curves, for example?
3. This is not a question, but merely feedback. The YouTube performance is truly impressive - even better than a system with a GTX 1080 Ti and 6700K ? when playing some 4K content. I even managed to play a 2160p50 VP9 (not supported by HW decoder) and it only dropped 10 frames out of nearly 10,000. See photo.
4. Finally, HWiNFO, HW Monitor and other applications don't recognise most of the temperature sensors, which makes it hard to understand the current thermal constraints. For example, there is no GPU temperature displayed (though I believe it's one of the AUX readings). Does anyone have any suggestions for monitoring software that is compatible with this Minix model? I can't even see the current clock speed of the GPU!
