Some laptops cannot be fixed. Your Acer Aspire is enforcing the 15W TDP limit. Some laptops allow your to run way beyond the 15W limit. Your Acer laptop does not allow this.

Here is how an 8th Gen CPU runs in a Lenovo C930. Lenovo does not enforce the 15W limit on this laptop.


You have to be careful when buying a laptop. Many are locked down and are not designed for enthusiasts.
