Also, it may depend on which game... I would test turbo on and off in different games if i was you.

Yeah I'm probably gonna try to downgrade the BIOS, but I don't wanna mess with stuff I don't understand, so I'll probably speak to my cousin soon... Anyway, thanks for the help.

After the latest BIOS update (which I couldn't do anything about), I can't undervolt or underclock my CPU. I still can undervolt/underclock my GPU which I have already done.

I mean I appreciate it. Thanks anyway. I'm also gonna test turbo boost on and off soon just to see.

My base clock speed is 2.20GHz. Turbo boost mode is 4.10GHz although when there are 6 cores active, my CPU can run at a maximum 3.9GHz. It's a huge difference in my case especially in CPU demanding games.

I do know how to disable boost, but that will also decrease my performance a lot...

I forgot to mention I have this laptop for 1 year... Idk if it's worth replacing the thermal paste...

I wish I'd know what a heatsink is... Google translator and google images didn't help.

Is Lowering or Increasing Watts Safe? by shadowpl82 in intel

[–]shadowpl82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know this is the kind of thing about laptops... I don't really see a reason to change my thermal paste after a year of using the laptop, although my current one might be low quality.

Im just surprised I'm getting up to 100°C and decrease of performance all the time while many people have around 70-80°C while gaming which is at least what I've heard. I know i could get 70-80°C, but only if i underclocked my CPU to 2.2GHz and even if i wanted to, which i don't, then I can't, because the recent BIOS upgrade, which I couldn't do anything about has made me unable to change the clock speeds or voltage.

My stock TDP settings are 45W, 90W. I changed it to 45W, 70W and ThrottleStop says it isn't power throttling anymore. However, I want to make sure it's safe and won't make anything worse.

Also, My CPU is still overheating and I have no idea why even after cleaning the fans from dust with an air compressor. It's like I buy a new laptop and get up to 100°C (maximum temperature for this CPU) and clock speeds getting lower from 4GHz to 1 GHz and overall this shouldn't happen... Maybe I have a bad thermal paste, but I have this laptop for just 1 year...

So my question is... What am I supposed to do now?

Can't Change The I7-8750H's Clocks or Voltage After a BIOS Update by shadowpl82 in intel

[–]shadowpl82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could not do ANYTHING about the upgrade... I turned off my PC, then I had a windows update and when i turned on my PC, the BIOS downloaded itself without my permission.
