QUOTE(hshern95 @ Mar 24 2019, 05:15 PM) I did undervolt the CPU via ThrottleStop. But when I run some stress test in XTU, the 'Current Limit Throttling' keep lights up, and then the CPU utilization keep bouncing up and down. switch to game mode press the button beside the power button will solve this. Don't you have this issue?   |

QUOTE(k!nex @ Apr 16 2019, 03:22 PM) Btw, I have tried numerous ways for cooling. I think the main problem is the rubber feet at the bottom of the notebook is not tall enough. That hinders airflow . I did an experiment by comparing the placement of the notebook. Put on the desk like usual and tilt the rear by 1.5cm like that by putting a small book between the 2 fans inlet. There is a significant drop in temperature when i run benchmarks. I think those notebook coolers dont work that well because the fans are not powerful enough, it is only drawing power from USB port , 5V 500mA max. I do exactly the same though I'm using the cooler pad but never use the fan just to lift up the laptop  The cool thing about using the cooler pad is i can put on my lap and it look more organize as well sorry I'm OCD   |

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Apr 19 2019, 11:50 PM) Does the cooling pad has enough airflow on the bottom of the laptop or not. Many cheap cooling pads suck in airflow, relying the weak fans which did nothing. I tried one CM before, that one sucks I'm not using the fan.....  |

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Apr 20 2019, 11:08 AM) Then you might just want to lift up the back by a bit to enable more airflow. The cooling pad might block some airflow by using book? sorry as i mentioned it look more organize on the cooler pad maybe it not important to you but it's for me. but I curious how both of these method will affect the temperature of the laptop hence i did the test just now both test using intel xtu with 5 minutes stress test on cpu First test tilt the rear putting something in between the 2 fans inlet like what k!nex did.   Second test put on cooler pad without fan.  I re-run 3 times to make sure the result is consistent as you can see above the result of both method are the same judging from the max recorded value, even the temperature of other component other than cpu. anyway the test just out of curiosity it's not a professional test of any sort.

QUOTE(prasys @ Apr 20 2019, 11:27 PM) Hiding the other details , umm can't comprehend that one Not intended to hide anything, the current value is pointless it depend on when you do the screenshot, just don't want to confuse the viewer.take for example you do the screenshot right after the cpu stress test the value will be similar to max value but if you screen shot 10 second later the drop in cpu frequency will bring down the temperature reading so it's pointless to view the current value |

QUOTE(k!nex @ Apr 20 2019, 09:14 PM) There is 1 thing you forgot to do . If you want apples to apples comparison, you should max out both fans before you do a stress test for temps. not a real world test if I max out the fan as I dont use my laptop with max fan anyway it just too noisy. |
