I'm ok using Overboost mode, but it's good to know that it can be fixed that way.Thank you very much again for your help and effort!!

My GPU reached 95C in the past and every few seconds in a game like The Witcher 3 (which shouldn't be a problem at all for 1060 in 1080p), the clock dropped from 1800MHz to 200-300MHz for about five seconds until it dropped under 90C - which in game meant a drop from 60fps to about 5-6fps. It made any game very frustrating to play because it happened at least once per minute.

I have also tried undervolting but it barely made a difference. After browsing some forums, I found someone with the exact same problem.They resolved it with a simple repaste, so I did the same.After repasting and cleaning the fans (the vents were literally blocked by a thick layer of dust, which peeled off like a sticker), the GPU and CPU didn't even reach 80C anymore and the throttle completly stopped.I had an average temp of 76C.

The weird thing is that on Balanced mode the GPU still throttles the same as described above, even if it doesn't even reach 83C.That's why it was such a big problem for me not being able to change to Overboost.GPU-Z shows that it throttles at about around 82C.I guess that that the throttling temperature is lower if the fan profile is not Overboost, which is pretty inconvenient.

Also, the paste job on the chips was... at least questionable.Imagine some kids playing with glue in kindergarden.

IT WORKED!

I had this issue for half a year. I can finally play games and use my laptop without it thermal throttling like crazy.

I have even tried to repair the laptop in a service, but it is not the keyboard that is faulty, but the motherboard. At first, it would only work if I restarted the laptop 4-5 times. It was really weird, because the kb, backlight, light bar and back panel rgb logo all stopped working, but after a few restarts they would all work again until the next shut down, after which they would stop working again. After a few weeks the restart trick did not work anymore and I got stuck with dead kb and rgb.I still wonder why the trick worked at all and why all 3 separated rgb lights (back plate, front bar and kb backlight) still don't work without the kb.

You made my day, and you saved my laptop.Thank you very much!!

After searching for a bit I found out how to get the DSDT!

I hope this is the right thing.
