I ran some benchmarks to check the performance and the CPU wattage. In Cinebnech R23 10 mins run I got 10935. Temp at the end of the 10 mins run was 73. So I suspected it wasn't pushing as hard as it could then I found a "smart cooling" setting in the bios. After disabling that I got around 1200. Could still be better because the CPU temp was the same in the end.
CPU package power as reported by hwinfo64, settles at 22w after around 4 minutes. Before that it stays between 26-28 watt with CPU temp in the mid 80's. Then it settles at 22 watt (with CPU temp at 73 degrees). So it seems to be that the cooling system is capable of running this at at least 25w sustained. I'm hoping a bios update down the line will take advantage of the thermal headroom.
