CI'll say, yes
Mnow I’m unsure if a heat sink changes things. I did not have one on mine. It’s now in my desktop PC so I couldn’t tell ya the current status.
Juh oh
CHmm IDK if I would transfer so much, I mean, my MBA only has 256 GB of storage, where would I get 600 GB 
J@matt_schwartz temps went up to like 90-93
Jat 40w
Jjust lowered it to 35w,I can already tell thats gonna be a problem right?
Jwith whatever the default fan curves on linux are
MI was doing some serious distrohopping at the time and transferring like 1.5TB of data a lot. My SD card reader was cooked a month after release
CI guess that's the case with intel, my only other experience with ecores are the A17 Pro and the M1/2, most of my tasks only use the ecores in the mac, afaik
Jyou were installing linux 1 month in?!?
Jdo you dual boot?
Jdo you know if this is normal matt?
CI wonder if they planned to do it and then backed out
Amy current intel hardware is all 10th gen, my next laptop/desktop/deck upgrade will remain amd
Mlike I said, the bios is meant to bump the temperature back down between 90-95 degrees. I’m not sure about the current state of setting TDP on Ally but it’s very possible the Decky plugin now overrules the bios limits with certain settings
CFunny enough, if you check the internals of the claw, the ally clone, the empty space where you can use a 2280 SSD, is filled by the battery
Mhence the reason I recommended leaving it alone for the most part
MThe hassle is not worth the extra 1fps
Jso I really shouldn't go all the way to 40?
Mand it’s literally 1 or 2 fps in most cases
Jis 35w even worth it?
MNo
MI just stuck with 30w
JI gained like 5FPS with 35w
COof, 10th and 11th gen were terrible, everything went uphill when 12th gen was launched
Aimo anything above 15w aint worth it, unless you are a heavy desktop user with your handheld
MI’m basing all this off my experience in like September/October. There have been many changes to the Ally on Linux since then so it could be different now.
MAll this is at your own risk
Mdon’t come to me asking what’s good or not good anymore. just trying to save you the trouble.
Jfor the ally definitely not
Jit gains serious performance buffs from 15 to 30
Ai don't know exactly when there's diminishing returns on the z1e, but i'm assuming there's minimal gain after something like 22w
Jand its designed to run at 30 at that
CWell if @indigo's ally explodes, at least we have @Xe´s ally to test 
Ano not really, the performance difference its not even 20%, i want to upgrade to amd for the better price/quality/linux
Aintel's been terrible if we're talking battery life or iGPU
Awhich is what makes me skeptical about the claw
CThe 5700X has been dirt cheap for a while, I almost got it for a new PC
Athe minimum tdp is 15w btw
A
A
Athat should tell you something already
Aintel doing the usual
Cthen a friend came with a 10400F and a 1650 for less than 200 USD and I couldn't resist
Cwhich I then sold because I never used the darn thing lmao
Athere's a reason why GPD dropped intel; it sold really poorly
Jon what?
Aclaw
Amsi claw
