    Unfortunately, 2500u sets frequency of all cores to 2GHz when CPU temperature hits 70+ degrees.

    BEFORE gaming make sure your Battery is charged to 100% and then KEEP it plugged into charge whilst gaming, 

    Make sure your graphics drivers are updated to this version or higher and click express upgrade



    Make sure High Performance is selected under Power Plan in Nitrosense when on AC



    After that make sure your RX560x is selected in Switchable Graphics for your games and your games are set on High Performance, you must import your games .exe using the Browse tab in pic below

    Unfortunately, 2500u sets frequency of all cores to 2GHz when CPU temperature hits 70 + deg

    I benched mine under Stress and was well over 70 deg and maintained 3164mhz throughout

    3164MHz all 4 cores and 8 threads?

    Maybe 2GHz all cores can be reached in case, when you use dGPU RX560X (like in games), so you can't see it in only CPU stress test
