    Question Laptop CPU clock dropping to 800mhz during load on battery ?

    I know it's been years but I post this solution to anyone who might have the same issue possibly on other systems as well. So basically in my laptop the battery only delivers 47W of power and for some reason the system is setup to be EXTREMELY conservative so that as soon as the cpu needs a...

    [SOLVED] Noctua Nt-h1 thermal paste on GPU, forced replacement every few months

    Yes, that's exactly the problem :\ I wanna try one last option, that is to reduce slightly the mounting pressure on the cooler. If that fails, or makes it even worse i'll have to try with thermal grizzly.

It's not so much about the clock being generally lower on battery though as much as it dropping to minimum. It will stay at full boost clock even without AC if I tell the...

    Hello everyone! I've been looking around everywhere for this issue and nobody seems to have my exact same problem, so no useful solutions so far. I bought an Asus vivobook pro n580vn this summer, it runs on a 7700hq and it does so great generally. Except if I'm working on battery! This is the...
