I have installed a Ryzen 3 3200G in the Deskmini, UEFI version is 2.10. To keep the noise low I tried to set the TDP to a lower value. But my setting of "45" in the TDP line is completely ignored. Also the TDC that I have set to 50 is ignored. HWINFO64 shows me 3,6GHz@1,4V and package power=100W, Package current = 70A when I set the CPU under load. And the fan is of course blowing at high rpm.

Is there any chance to get the TDP setting working?

The only thing that seems possible is to reduce the maximum CPU speed in Windows from 100% to 99%. But then the CPU is running only at 2,3GHz and still uses 1,3V Vcore.
