Hey all,
So out of curiosity I tried swapping the vbios on the Flow X16 for one with more wattage. The one that worked best on the Flow was the 150-watt Zephyrus Duo vbios. However, I just wanted to show everyone that the performance uplift isn't really any different than just simply overclocking. In fact, overclocking gives basically the same performance at lower temperatures, so I would just recommend overclocking instead of looking for a vbios if you're after chasing every bit of fps possible. The only benefit of the 150w vbios was that it allowed the CPU to run at higher wattages while the GPU was active. At the cost of higher temperatures of course. Also it never quite hit that 150 watts either, it would hover mostly around 135-140.
