How would I test that?

I only use it for travel and watching movies. There as a short "brain freeze" when plugging it in, but it continues to work normally.

The hardest part was finding a USB charger that:

- has decent wattage

- is not expensive

- also charges non-c USB

- does not explode (and bring down the whole trains outlets...)

- throttles/splits current (instead of running hot, shutting down and leaving your equipment uncharged for the night...)

Only downside: no qualcom quickcharge 3.0 for the non-c USBs

On windows you can use CPU-Z, on linux look up for some command line solution.

I'm on windows :)

Didn't do heavy load testing, but see the same ~2800mhz on AC/battery/usb-c (it's an i5-6300HQ)
