Interestingly, right before CPU switches to Turbo mode, the power drops to 18W briefly, but that doesn't bother me, CPU clock remains where it should be. Here are the results of running again the test, as well as my ThrottleStop main settings below. ThrottleStop settings were not changed much, reduced undervolting slightly, reduced a little the Turbo Ratio Limits (had them all on 46). So after disabling that and reverting BIOS again back to 1.53, did a bit more doc reading and adjustments in ThrottleStop, and finally I ran another test. This was due to Lenovo System update being set to check for updates on Wednesday and didn't ask for confirmation, so I changed that as well: System restarted, and nasty surprise awaited: the BIOS was updated automatically back to 1.60. I initially used LinX (the one with the GUI) as I thought maybe this also contributed to the chart you mentioned looking like that.Īt my first run the system crashed, seems I undervolted too much. Tried to do some more tests today.įirst, I used a different tool to stress test: LinkpackXtreme64. But you’ll relish the real challenge ahead of you.For the feedback. They are truly challenging games on the most difficult setting. These are the games that make that extra effort. You could take pride in being king of the castle–you earned that right–through sore thumbs, sweat, and late night failings. The view from the summit is breathtaking when you know how much perseverance and challenge it took up there. And arcade games? Continues were incentives to slot in another quarter to continue your progress.īut that’s what made these video games so special. After all, games in those days relied heavily on their replayability and by making them intentionally difficult, they were totally worth playing through to the end. Contra III: The Alien Wars, Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!, and the Mega Man franchise were intentionally difficult.
Those early days had a swinging pendulum of difficulty. Video games in those days felt impossibly hard–your job was to figure out how to beat them. Back then, there was no hand-holding and no tutorials. Your friends came over and everyone would take turns failing on the same level over and over again. Most strategy guides were simply word-of-mouth. Nintendo Power, one of the earliest video game strategy guide publications, was published monthly. In the early days of video games, easily accessible game guides didn’t exist.
