Simpledeckytdp not working correctly on Legion go

Hi, so I’ve been trying to use simpledeckytdp to change my tdp when playing games but when i check if there is a change and power usage, it seems like moving the slider for tdp and the power governor don’t seem to be changing anything. The only thing that works for me is the Lenovo tdp presets when using L + Y. Is there anyway to fix this. Thanks!

could you try running sudo ryzenadj --stapm-limit 15000 --slow-limit 15000 --fast-limit 15000 in terminal, and see if it runs successfully? this is basically manually setting 15W TDP we first need to determine if your ryzenadj is working or not also, do you have secure boot enabled?

ok, sounds like there's a bug in the plugin somewhere then. one more quick question, did you disable any CPU cores in the bios? and does any part of the plugin work? e.g. adjusting GPU clocks, etc

ok so it looks like everything but the tdp governor and slider are working correctly after running the code

see any errors when you do: cat /tmp/simpleTDP.log

rip, so no error messages but ok, i suspect i might know the problem let me investigate a bit on my end sorry, one last question. if you enable the Lenovo Custom TDP toggle in advanced options, does TDP control start working? or alternatively, after disabling it (if it was on)

no worries, it's always better to get bug reports. since you're probably not the only one encountering the issue

@Smokey when you get the chance, could you try installing this build of SimpleDeckyTDP? I added some fixes which might solve your problem
Aru

note that I'm the SimpleDeckyTDP dev actually, you can just update normally. I pushed all the latest bugfixes in a release, hopefully it'll fix your issue
