most laptops will throttle on battery power to begin with

so maybe you're just not noticing it because of that

No its throttling on charger

yes, but it will limit power usage on battery only

so it will heat up less

and thus not thermal throttle

So any ideas?

turn on power saving mode?

it's working as intended

laptops are thermally throttling 9/10 times

they're designed that way

It doesnt

He tried it

Fps limit?

Tried but didn't work

I have no idea what it could be except maybe failing gpu

He reinstalled Wangblows and now is getting some gpu(most probably) crashes

Told him to install older driver and see

Slap him in the mouth for buying a gaymen laptop, for starters

Then show him the wonder of Fan Docks for laptops

Yeah I didn tell him to cool it externally

This is what I used to use when I was a retard who used a laptop

$35 is LOL pricing, of course, don't pay that much

Yeah I told him to find a cheapo cooling pad or even try with a fan to see if it helps

does it actually perform worse than when on battery

Need to ask, sec

Yeah, it starts stutters to the point he gets between 0-30 fps

what laptop does he have, exactly

Asus gl703vm

Fucking asus

>$1500 and it's thermal throttling udner gayming load

LOL your friend's a mook

Ikr

wouldn't be surprised if he made it worse with liquid metal

How come

You mean applying like a retard?

ye

Does it apply differently than usual stuff?

yes

And if it's an actual problem, if he sends it back for repair, the poor tech who opens it is gonna be very confused and will probably end up spilling it all over the board and ruining it
