Discovering the Power Limits of Polo Lake

Are you a proud owner of a Polo Lake laptop? Well, I have some exciting news for you! I recently stumbled upon an interesting discovery about the power limits of the Polo Lake series. It turns out that the power limits of these laptops can be disabled, which unlocks their true potential. This revelation explains why they perform so well compared to other laptops in their class.

Understanding the Implications of Disabled Power Limits

In the past, I had observed that increasing the power limits of certain devices improved their performance. The same principle applies to the Polo Lake laptops. By default, these laptops have a power limit of six watts, as set by Intel. However, some manufacturers have disabled this limit, allowing the laptops to operate at higher power levels.

While disabling the power limit may seem like a straightforward enhancement, it is important to understand the implications. The primary reason for keeping the power limits in place is to control power consumption and manage heat generation. However, lifting these limits can result in reduced performance. When gaming, for example, the GPU may throttle down once it reaches the default six-watt limit, leading to a decrease in performance.

The Benefits of Increasing Power Limits

By performing a simple tweak using the ReadWriteEverything tool, we can lift the six-watt power limit and increase it to 10 or even 15 watts. Of Course, increasing the power limit comes with some risks, such as generating more heat. However, the results are well worth it. The performance of Polo Lake laptops, like the Civil Top Air that I reviewed, significantly improves when the GPU can sustain its clock speed of 700 MHz.

Risks and Considerations

Before attempting to apply this mod to your laptop, it's crucial to ensure that your device has a good copper heatsink. Laptops like the Easybook 3 Pro and Onda Shoma 3040SR31, which feature excellent copper heatsinks, are suitable for this modification. On the other HAND, laptops such as Lapbook 12.3 and 14.1 may not have sufficient cooling capabilities and are not recommended for this tweak.

It's important to note that if you decide to apply the mod, you will need to repeat the process every time you put your device to sleep or reboot it. However, you can create a shortcut on your desktop for convenience.

Recommended Laptops for the Mod

To ensure a successful modification, it is essential to have a laptop with a reliable copper heatsink. The following laptops have been tested and recommended for applying the power limit tweak:

• Easybook 3 Pro
• Onda Shoma 3040SR31

How to Apply the Mod

To apply the mod, follow these steps:

1. Download the ReadWriteEverything application from the provided link.
2. Open the application and navigate to "Access" > "Command."
3. Paste the command from the article into the command Prompt.
4. Once the memory edit is complete, you will need to repeat the process after every sleep or reboot.
5. Create a shortcut on your desktop for easier access to the mod.

Testing the Performance Improvements

To gauge the performance improvements after applying the power limit tweak, I conducted a benchmark test using Half-Life 2: Lost Coast. The test was performed at 720p resolution with all graphical settings set to the lowest for consistency across devices.

The stock Polo Lake laptop with the default six-watt power limit achieved 74 frames per Second (FPS) in the benchmark. However, after applying the mod and increasing the power limit, the FPS increased to 93, resulting in a 20% improvement. It's important to note that the performance gains may vary depending on the specific device and Game being tested.

Thermal Management and Temperatures

One concern when applying the power limit mod is thermal management. Thankfully, the Polo Lake laptops with good copper heatsinks, such as the Onda Shoma 3040SR31, exhibit impressive cooling capabilities. Even after running intensive benchmarks for 10 minutes, the temperatures remained relatively low, reaching only 64 degrees for the CPU and 66 degrees for the GPU.

However, it's worth mentioning that during extended gaming Sessions, temperatures may rise further. While the laptop's cooling system should manage the increased heat output to a certain extent, it's advisable to monitor temperatures closely. Additionally, users can consider adding a thermal pad between the copper heatsink and the rear body of the laptop for additional heat dissipation.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the power limit tweak for Polo Lake laptops like the Civil Top Air and T-Book Air can unlock their true potential. By lifting the default power limit and increasing it to 10 or 15 watts, users can experience significant performance improvements, especially in gaming scenarios. However, it's essential to consider the associated risks, such as increased heat generation, and ensure that your laptop has a reliable cooling system in place.

With the appropriate precautions and proper thermal management, enthusiasts can enjoy the extra boost in GPU and CPU performance. Let's hope that manufacturers, particularly in China, start providing users with the option to adjust power limits in the BIOS, further enhancing the user experience.
