After spending 15 hours of modding the EQR6 (6900HX)'s PSU and digging on this model’s BIOS, it appears that the performance is crippled not just by the PSU itself, but with a hardlock on the BIOS itself. What this means for the casual fps shill is no matter what you do in the BIOS or UXTU, your performance is gonna be limited.
The funny thing is that synthetic benchmarks can push this to eat 40W+ on the CPU and iGPU separately, hitting just shy of 90C. However, as soon as I open any game (Dota 2, Marvel Rivals, Valorant, etc), the temps lock to <60C and the total power to ~ 35W. I changed all of the relevant settings in the BIOS and UXTU, but the changes in the former don’t apply and the latter mostly don’t work.
Now that I’ve done my part in paying for this product and giving it the power boost it needs, I would love to see Beelink do their part as well in removing this artificial handicap on the unit.
All of these exclude the fact that this PC performs half as good compared to other users and reviewers’ data. And since I’ve went through the rabbit hole this deep, trust me when I say I’ve done all the troubleshooting possible, short of Beelink lending a helping hand
