I have a question.
I pre ordered myself an ASUS TUF dash A15 the R7 version, I have now realised they shadily hid the fact it's the 3070 80/90W variant. I'm kind of annoyed about it, but I going to go through with it. Anyway, my question is:
Can you make the Q perform like the P?
It's a 10/20W difference, but that difference literally equates to a 300mhz clock difference. I know that certain parts are disabled too. 1.29gz or 1.6gz max. Probably effects the memory clock too.
I ask this because I read that most of the chips are actually the same, just a BIOS restriction is what gives them the lower clocks and thus the efficiency. If that is actually true, wouldn't the Q version actually be able to behave like a P version in a stable manner? I know it would generate more heat, but Armoury crate profiles would be able to nerf the power usage when chilling and I have made a custom cooling tray with 2 high pressure 140mm 12v fans set up to run at 15v, I want to keep this beast cool even as standard.
Before anyone mentions warranty, I know that kind of modification of software straight up void warranty, I still want to know if it is possible and if it is actually safe to do.
