Undervolting?

I just got my new laptop, it has Ryzen 5 3550H with a RX 560X, running on 16GB of 2400Mhz RAM, laptop model is an Acer Nitro 5 2019 AN515-43 R84R. I'm planning to study aboard so I bought that laptop, but then I noticed that when I was playing some games, the battery drops real fast (of course) and CPU is heating up to about 78 degree C. I'm new to AMD and I'm wondering is there any software that allows me to undervolt the CPU? I know many people saying that anything below 85 degree is OK, but I don't want my laptop to sound like a jet engine while maintaining it cool, because I found that kinda annoying since I'm a sound hoarding type of gamer. Will AMD release any feature like this in the future?

hikari20 - i run my Laptop-Fans at "FULL SPEED" with NitroSense

use a good headset or headphones that cover all of your ears and you wont hear it

better a cool laptop than a quiet one


HERE YOUR ANSWER:

to "lower TDP" on Ryzen Laptops (and therefore make them "cooler")
1. download: Releases · FlyGoat/RyzenAdj · GitHub  Version 0.5.2
2. write a batch-file with these code - it will limit the APUs TDP to 15W (instead of 35W in your case)

@echo off
%~dp0\ryzenadj.exe --stapm-limit=15000 --fast-limit=15000 --slow-limit=15000 --vrmmax-current=65000
echo MSGBOX "APU runs now with 15W TDP" > %temp%\15Wmsgbox.vbs
call %temp%\15Wmsgbox.vbs
del %temp%\15Wmsgbox.vbs /f /q
exit

3. place this batch into the RyzenAdj folder
4. run the batch as admin - you can also create a desktop-shortcut and check "run as administrator" - this will allow fast usage

this will reduce performance a little but will result in better temps
you can play around with the "15000" - like make all 3 to "21000" and your Ryzen 5 3550H will have a TDP of 21W

you HAVE to change run this after each reboot - TDP will be revert every bootup

PC: R7 2700X @PBO + RX 580 4G (1500MHz/2000MHz CL16) + 32G DDR4-3200CL14 + 144hz 1ms FS P + 75hz 1ms FS
Laptop: R5 2500U @30W + RX 560X (1400MHz/1500MHz) + 16G DDR4-2400CL16 + 120Hz 3ms FS
