I thought I post up here because I just bought HP Pavilion 15 BA010AX with A10-9600P and didn't find any tool or guide for tweaking Bristol Ridge laptops. The Carrizo tweaking didn't work for it.
I tried using AMDmsrtweaker, it read the Pstate wrongly (voltage is wrong) and any sort of command run through it will resulted with blackscreen. So I ditched it and continue looking for other programs.
Behold the
K15TK, a simple program similar to K10stats that I love for Stars architecture. You can find the download link
here. Below is the screenshot of the stock A10-9600P Pstates and voltages.
A10-9600P default TDP is 15W, from my testing in Windows 7 32-bit SP1 the boost clock will never exceed PB2 clock of 2.6GHz. Using HwInfo the CPU only momentarily goes to PB0 clock on one of its cores and return back to its PB2 states. In gaming (using its dedicated R7 M440) it usually hovers at PB2 clock for a while before resorting to P0 clock.
I tweaked the voltage as seen on the second attachment. The voltage is vastly better than the stock voltage and temperature drops similarly, CPU never exceed 70C during gaming (it was around 80C stock with the dedicated GPU running). I found that you can run other Pstates at the same clock as the max clock for its group (for example normal states (P0 to P4) will run fine if put P1 state at the same clock as P0 max clock, for my CPU it's 2400MHz, likewise for PB2 will run fine at PB0 clock of 3300MHz). Also I could make other Pstates to be close to default clock so it won't jump around too much (example default P0 to P1 difference was 400MHz, now its none!)
With this I could use it for benchmarking like in 3DMark Cloud Gate I raised the PB2 clock to 3300MHz. The CPU score rise from 1400 CPU scores to nearly 3300 (refer picture 3). This is just for benchmarking though, I run at stock clock when gaming.
If anyone knows any other tools for tweaking Bristol Ridge APU let me know. I read some old review thread that The Stilt going to release to control cTDP software but since he already seen the power delivery and cooling of these laptops he didn't want to. I hope with this software to control voltages he can now release this software, with voltage reduction the cooling system don't need to work as hard. Whne I get my dual channel memory I wanted to ditch the dedicated GPU and just use the iGPU for gaming.
