A thermally and power-limited H-series laptop. Locked BIOS, no memory-timing access, stock cooling. The competing Legion and Tongfang machines on that board had unlocked timings and better cooling. Same process I use on customer laptops: thermal service, power analysis, OS/firmware work, then public validation.

Public 3DMark Hall of Fame, user Dragon2012, August 2024. Locked vendor BIOS — no memory timing unlock. Stock cooling. Ranked ahead of unlocked platforms. Same methodology on customer laptops — stability first, then the score.

Desktop Hall of Fame entries after thermal, power and system work. The same process I apply to customer desktops — not a one-off screenshot.

The same method on an older high-core desktop. Useful as a reminder that the process is not platform-fashion — it is measurement, thermals, power, then validation.

Public results, 2020. Older silicon, same discipline.
