Hi, how can I get rid of thermal throttling?
Hi, how can I get rid of thermal throttling?

sorry for the late response.
I have the asus rog zephyrus s gx531 i7 8750h,rtx 2060.
When I first got it I started noticing the temps were at 97 - 99 c on cpu and gpu 86c while gaming, I could not deal with this.
This is what i did
In power and sleep settings
I chose balanced and then played with its settings.
under advanced settings ,I put maximum processor state to 99% instead of 100%.
I used armory crate in either silent mode or balanced FPS good on both temps good on both under 85c for cpu and under 75 c for gpu
Cpu runs at 3.9-4.0ghz
I also cleaned the fans and changed thermal paste for both gpu and cpu
Most importantly got a cooler pad , just a simple 1 big fan cooler by insignia
Idle temps are now at 33 on cpu and gpu while not gaming , and I have never seen 90 c or above when gaming no matter which game, for example for cod warzone ..every setting maxed out on balanced mode with my settings mentioned above , and using armory crate in either silent or balanced mode
This worked for me and I thought my pc was defective before I made these changes.
biggest difference is the air from the cooler pad being able to rise up into the laptop to allow it to cool noticeably better.
Good luck to everyone still struggling with this.

This disables Intel Turbo Boost so an 8750H will run at its base frequency which is only 2.20 GHz.


The CPU does not run at this speed when the above advice is followed.
That model runs at 3.9ghz at 100% on the 6 cores
