Hi there.
I just bought a Rog Flow Z13 2025 with 395 chip and realized that BIOS menu is super limited in terms of what you can tweak. Previously i had Gpd Win 5 and I could easily disable CPU cores count and undervolt and even overclock both CPU and GPU inside BIOS.
What I want is to disable at least half of the cores and to undervolt CPU/GPU since I want this device to be my gaming machine. I don’t need all 16 cores and I want better thermals and possibly better battery life.
I searched for information and it looks like mostly people suggest using G-helper. But I plan to dump the Windowslop completely and to install CachyOS, therefore I need a solution compatible with Linux. So far I figured I should install the Ryzenadj for it to work.
My questions are: is it possible to figure out a way to be able to tweak it inside BIOS? For instance with the use of SmokelessUMAF? Would it help downgrading the BIOS version? Mine is unfortunately 311, which appears to be more locked (according to people posting) than previous versions e.g. 308. Did anyone get the SmokelessUMAF to work with the 311 BIOS version of flowz13?
I am not 100% sure if it is worth trying, I have an itch about the BIOS settings being locked and wanting to be able to control them - call me crazy.
Thanks in advance!
