7735HS Absurd Power Draw In Bazzite
I have a 2023 Asus A16 with the following specs.
Cpu: 7735hs
Gpu: 7700s
Ram: 32gb
Bazzite installation: bazzite-ally
I believe my CPU is using too much power.
The 7700s will be at sitting at a cool 60-70 degrees when in game mode. But the 7735hs will be using around 120watts and peaking at 95 degrees in most demanding games even when barely at 50% utilization. Is there a way to limit the power usage on bazzite? Something like simple decky tdp but not capped at 40w? This behavior seems to be related to Game Mode. When playing a game in the desktop, the temps seems to be fairly around the same as windows. I guess what I would like to find out is if its gamemode causing a crazy power draw or if it is reporting my temps and power usage wrong.
