AK1 N95 BIOS - needs mod.
AK1 N95 BIOS - needs mod.
I have bought KAMRUI AK1Plus Mini PC Intel 12th Gen Celeron N95 CPU. It appeared to be very slow compared to analog. I found using Throttlestop that CPU power is limited by BIOS to 8 w instead of 15 w in analog, thus CPU frequency is limited to 2.7 Ggz instead of 3.4 (Intel page). I’ve made a BIOS dump by fptw64, but I don’t understand how to mod it. I tried AmiBCP 5.02, but I have never used it before. It is a very common problem with Chinese PC. Maybe somebody knows how

Re: AK1 N95 BIOS - needs mod.
It's likely that the CPU's power has been locked down to keep it from getting too hot, which can easily happen in small form factor PCs like this.

I described very similar situation with NIPOGI AK1Plus N100 here viewtopic.php?t=4767
To unlock power limit You can try to modify Power Limit 1 & 2 options in two places in bios (Power Management Control & Power Management Control -> View/Configure Turbo Options).
Try to set bigger value eg: 15000 (it means 15w max power)
But I think it will lead you to another issue with CPU overheating...
