I've got a Quad-Core AMD A10-5745M APU at 2.1Ghz (up to 2.9Ghz on ''Turbo Core'')
The problem is that it throttles itself for no reason ONLY WHEN GAMING, not in stability tests, nor benching, etc...
When it's idle, the frequency is always 2.5Ghz - 2.7Ghz, but just as I start a game, it goes down to 2Ghz and never changes.
And I'm sure it's not sort of a thermal throttling because when I minimize the game, the speed goes back up within seconds, almost instantly. I have the WIN8 task manager and CPU-Z to monitor it.
I've researched as much as I could about this (I've disabled core parking, every single power management option possible set to max performance including the minimum 100% of CPU in power plan settings etc...)
It's remarkable that when in loading screens of games, the speed is normal, but just as soon as the game shows up, the throttling occurs.
I'ts just so weird.
The CPU temp never passes 63°C, and there is no Cool n' Quiet option in BIOS to disable it.
Sorry for my bad english and any help is highly appreciated
