I need a short guide with the best values for ThrottleStop for me please!

optimal is the lowest you can get without much effort.
so around 70°+ is good.
what i am not liking is you say you have a laptop cooler with 4 fans. how is temp whithout it?
the others here are right to say this laptop has to run even the hardest game-there is no excuse like dont run gtaV

I will try to play GTA V without the cooler today,in order to get to the real results!
And I will report.
 
what the so called techs like to do is push the gpu or the cpu separately so they never get things to throttle and say everything is good.
 
GTA V and most other games would still run fine if you would clock down the CPU a bit.
I run GTA V at a locked steady 40fps on my Asus laptop with the CPU running at just 2.6GHz max turbo, CPU temps are around 60s.

Yes,you are abosutely right!
Maybe the best would be to remove that dust filter on the air intake,but they say that in that case the warranty will void,and anyway that there would be a need for frequent cleaning!
 
Do you have me on "ignore" or something!?

Unsubbing...

GL!
 
But could the downclocking damage the CPU?

Hell NO lol!
You just lower the multipliers only thats all!!

You can lower your max CPU temps by at least 10 degrees or more if you like to let it run cooler.

To which values ?
When I played today the CPU frequency was about 3.1 GHz


And what would you reccommend me for the dust filter?
 
To which values ?

Well your current max turbo speed is 3.5GHz I see, try setting the multipliers to 30 on all cores first so it will run at a maximum 3.0Ghz speed and check your max temps.

Just lower it bit by bit and test how the gaming performance is after lowering.

These i7 laptop CPU's are very powerful and they don't necessary need to run at full speed while gaming.

To be honest I like to play the game at locked 60 FPS :/

Would the downclocked CPU allow the 60 FPS?

And what about the dust filter?

Well it's very easy to downclock the CPU with intel XTU, you'll have to test it, it may very well be that the game still runs at 60fps as mine does at a locked 40fps.

If you'll notice no difference with the CPU at somewhat lower speed, why not?
It'll run cooler!

I will try it!By the way,how have you locked the FPS?

With RTSS.

What settings are you using in GTA V? Mine are mainly very high @ 1080p.
I have a GTX770M.

And what do you really think about the dust filter?

Well other gaming laptops don't have any "airfilter".... Never seen it before!
My Asus gaming laptop neither, mine does have 2 fans though.

You know,they say that with removing of that filter,they would frequently have to open-close the laptop to clean it,then may they make some accidental hardware damage etc...
 
If you can remove that airfliter without damaging anything I would remove it.
Just play around with the multipliers in intel XTU and try your games!

My video settings are very high only for texture and particles quality,other normal at 1080p

My GPU is GTX 960 M 4 GB GDDR5

I have no problems to keep my laptop airvents clean, I use an air compressor (not at full speed) and just blow out the dust from time to time, if you do this once every 4-6 months you'll be fine.
 
Is there a possibility for lowering the temps with FPS locking at 40?

And what about CPU undervolting?

You'll have to test it. :)
 
Dear P4-630,thank you so much for helping me! :)

LOL! No problem!

The worst thing that can happen fiddling around with intel XTU is a laptop reboot, if your voltage settings were'nt stable and after a restart all is back to stock for another attempt.

I personally only fiddled with the multiplier settings in XTU but lowering voltage a bit might help a few degrees but it might become unstable quickly for gaming, thats why I didn't play with the voltage.
