Plug any random monitor into one of those 2019 MBP 16" models, and there's a good chance it'll spin up its fans to the max in an attempt to escape, and failing that, passively resist further abuse by overheating and throttling itself to a standstill.

This might just be them overtightening in response to that problem of old (whilst continuing to deny its existence, of course heh).

Edit: Plugging in an external monitor (not all of them, seems random) will cause the laptop's GPU to instantly 4x its powerdraw to about 20 watts, which then lasts for the duration of that connection.

Didn't that get fixed in 12.3?

Sadly not on mine or several colleagues' machines. Even did a full wipe back when I read that. Luck of the draw I guess.
