PPT values being correct.

[flukejones]

Hey @seerge. It was never very clear to me if going over the actual max of a PPT value was safe or not, but regardless of that if the max is lower than any default then users moving the sliders between that actual max and UI max see no benefit.

I've been gathering data as much as possible for a driver I've been working on for Linux, and I have 30~ laptops now. This might be of some use to you as a quick database for verification and maybe parsing in to something you can use https://github.com/flukejones/linux/blob/wip/ally-master/drivers/platform/x86/asus-armoury.h#L361

It's a WIP of course, and may change. But to me it's important to gather correct data.

@flukejones hello Luke, that's a great initiative! :) I have seen your topic where you collected data from people.

From my personal observations there is usually some hardcoded upper limit on firmware level as well, that you can't overcome. For example on my G14 2022 CPU won't go higher than 90W ("official" limit in AC is 80W). Same applies to G14 2023/2024.

For lower limit - I usually allow to set even 5W, as I know that some people literally use that to achieve longer battery life. After all while idle or doing some light tasks in windows modern CPUs from both Intel and especially AMD use only a couple of watts of power anyway.
