Last edited by richie.patnaik on 2019/10/27 18:02 I have an ASUS TUF FX504GE with i5 8300H and a 1050Ti. My problem is the CPU speed throttling. All PC games run fine, but when I try to run a CPU intensive program like RPCS3 emulator, the CPU speed locks itself to base speed (2.29 GHz, and lower at times), after about 2 minutes of the program running, and refuses to use turbo speed. How do I force the CPU to run at turbo speed? Throttlestop limits window shows VR Thermal in red for all 3 things, and other reasons in yellow are Thermal, PL2, and EDP Other. I can't undervolt more than -135mv, and the cinebench scores are disastrously low (300 to 600cb).The CPU keeps forcibly downclocking itself and refusing to go above base speed even when CPU is getting taxed. Please tell me some way to fix the CPU speed throttling and extremely high temps (80 to 90 degrees). Should I just use thermal pads/paste and a clean up? And isn't there any possibility for a BIOS update to remove the TDP limit that keeps locking the CPU speed?

I did get it shown by an ASUS technician, he applied the thermal paste and cleaned it up, but it didn't work. He suggested a motherboard replacement, but since my laptop is past its warranty period, replacing it will essentially cost me close to half the price at which I bought my laptop. Is there nothing else I can do?

without this program "RPCS3 emulator" will you able to use other applications with full CPU power. connect charging, keep power mode set as high performance. If possible add the programs in NVIDIA GPU control panel

This issue is happening with all programs. I run the laptop on plugged?charging mode all the time, because the laptop under performs without charging. I have tried High Performance Mode Power Plan and adding the programs to the NVIDIA Control Panel list, no difference at all. From what I can understand, it seems strictly to be an issue of the Voltage Regulators on the Motherboard overheating and supplying less power to CPU, causing the throttling. I say this having observed the limit reasons in various CPU and temperature monitoring programs (ThrottleStop, Intel XTU, HWInfo64) etc. Anything else I can do?

At last, will you install Linux ubuntu and recheck the CPU while working.
