    [SOLVED] Youtube video quality looks better with Nvidia GPU than the iGPU

    So I noticed this morning while playing a 4k 60 fps video on YouTube that by default chrome was using intel GPU of laptop to render the video (in task manager Intel GPU shows 30% usage while nvidia 0%) so I thought why not nvidia GPU for video playback and went to the windows graphics settings...

    [SOLVED] Only 4 cores getting too hot in 8 core laptop processor

    I replaced it with condctonaut and the thermals are well under control now. While gaming it's now around 82 - 88 C where it used to be 90 - 95 C(throttle limit) all the time even with less load also I was able to undervolt up to -105 mv stable previously it's only -50mv and anything above it'll...

    [SOLVED] Only 4 cores getting too hot in 8 core laptop processor

    I ran multiple tests and it's always the core 4, 5, 6, and 7 who reaches the highest temps in my laptop during the stress test (100% load) other 4 cores are at a comfortable range (95 C is the throttle limit) every time. It kinda feels strange that the load is 100% across all CPUs and clock...

    Question CPU is thermal throttling a lot on Asus laptop ?

    Actually the fans run great I put my hand in front of air vent and throughput was so good and I can confirm it's not clogged at all. Nice airflow overall. This case happens even with a 6000 RPM manual profile and I'm pretty sure the fan pulls and throws 6000 RPM worth of AIR and I lifted the...

    Question CPU is thermal throttling a lot on Asus laptop ?

    So I got this 1 year old laptop Asus G732lxs with i9 10980hk processor and 2080 super. It thermal throttles even in idle also temps are fluctuating way quicker like for 1 sec and next sec it's 93 C and then next sec it drops to 60 while the clock speed fluctuating too much. I think this model...

    [SOLVED] i5 8300h power throttling when nvidia gpu runs (only)

    Alright, I guess I'll try find the sweet spot with afterburner. Anyway what DirectX API you'll recommend? 11 or 12 (I play GTA V (11), Fortnite (12 Beta) and modern warfare)

    [SOLVED] i5 8300h power throttling when nvidia gpu runs (only)

    Alright, with 800ish mV (don't know selected between 850 and 875mV but in GPU-Z it is showing 800mV) and 1430 MHz it kept the TDP above 28w all the time during 20 mins gameplay.

    [SOLVED] i5 8300h power throttling when nvidia gpu runs (only)

    CPU core at -225mv (it's very stable and gives consistent performance) CPU cache at -125mv iGPU at -125mv And yeah I'm already on the ultimate power plan.

    [SOLVED] i5 8300h power throttling when nvidia gpu runs (only)

    So I tested by setting the frequency at 1480 MHz on the afterburner and locked it with 900 mv and it was stable during the gameplay. But for CPU yes I undervolted to its maximum performance level. For few mins, it goes above 25w when switch fan profiles (will leave it at overboost mode) after a...

    [SOLVED] i5 8300h power throttling when nvidia gpu runs (only)

    I'll try locking the frequency and voltage in the MSI afterburner and will test.

    [SOLVED] i5 8300h power throttling when nvidia gpu runs (only)

    Yes, there's a fan control low + medium + overboost. I always use overboost mode. @lga1156_ftw but I noticed one thing that whenever the throttling starts after GPU kicks in, if I switch the fan profiles randomly then the throttle flag goes for a few moments.
