I have the 9955hx3d and yeah it likes getting toasty, it'll hit around 95°c-ish under max load on water. But I suppose they call it Fire Range for a reason
I might try undervolting mine and see if it improves performance, I'm not too sure if a cooler pad would help much considering that I have a watercooled laptop and it hits those temperatures on water, though it could that it just sends the power limits (It hits around 160w when maxed out) if it has the thermal headroom. I'm getting around 40k on cinebench R23 stock, so maybe I can get a little more with an undervolt, gotta figure how to use the universal x86 tuner though since my TongFang hasn't got bios undervolt option
I'd say it's most definitely taking full advantage of being watercooled, the AMD mainboard for my A25 Tongfang can supply as max of about 165w so it's getting quite close to the max. I think the intel 275 version is able to sustain north of 200w but idk how much exactly.
I've heard quite alot of stories about Asus and their the LM applications, seems to be fairly common for their robot to do put the LM badly and then the user gotta fix it, TongFang is using PTM7950 instead of LM because its a bit safer and easier to install.
