That would be best :P Another option (normally) is to buy an aftermarket cooler, but that's not possible with a laptop.
There has been pressure to open up their PowerPlay code, but they claim that's a trade secret. :P

Hi,
So to preserve my Radeon HD 3650, I have two options:
1. Re-flash the radeon BIOS with a more adequate PowerPlay table,
which would contain a much lower frequencies for the memory and GPU.
Not possible. "PowerPlay" is inside Catalyst, not the BIOS.
2. Wait for the proper PowerPlay support in radeonhd.
Right?
That would be best :P Another option (normally) is to buy an aftermarket cooler, but that's not possible with a laptop.
I think power management is MANDATORY for graphics chips meant to be
embedded into laptops. Any way to put the pressure on AMD/ATI to open
up the documentation for such a feature?
