5G5 8300H overheating leading to extreme lag and frame loss
5G5 8300H overheating leading to extreme lag and frame loss
I've faced this problem for two years where some games kept stuttering, making them unplayable. I'm using an Asus FX 504 GD with a 1050 and i5 8300h. I've been undervolting at -170 volts, but it hasn't helped. Recently, I noticed my Cinebench scores dropped a lot—down to 590 and up to 640—which is really bad for this CPU. I've checked online, but no clear solution found. Please help me.
CPU usage reaches its highest at 76 while GPU peaks near 67. I believe my temperatures are within normal range because I also have a laptop cooler.
It's not worth undervolting as previously mentioned. Your temperatures are normal. I see several possible problems: 1. The laptop comes with just one 8GB DDR4 2666 RAM stick, which is a single channel and very slow. Adding another 8GB should improve things. 2. The 1050 MHz is only 2GB of VRAM, and with just 8GB RAM you might run out of memory in certain games. Check your VRAM and memory usage during games to see if you're hitting limits. Getting another 8GB stick will help but won't fix everything. 3. Undervolting isn't completely reliable. 4. Over time, background programs keep running on Windows and are affecting performance.
So... don't undervolt it. It can't be throttling if nothing is overheating - it's possible you're running out of memory (though most games shouldn't have a problem with 8GB). Low cinebench scores are probably due to the undervolt.
Consider the impact of RAM and bandwidth on gaming performance, but note Cinebench remains unaffected. Prioritize testing after ensuring the laptop stays powered on with the battery above 90% and allowing some idle time for background processes. If the score is below expectations, identify the Cinebench version you're using.
Memory issues might be the problem, I've already tested with stock configurations but still face these freezes. My Cinebench results drop significantly without the undervolt adjustment.
