Reducing computer speed through heat management.
Reducing computer speed through heat management.
Hello! You're experiencing high CPU temperatures on your ASUS ROG labtop while gaming or using demanding apps. There are methods beyond just monitoring CPU usage to control cooling. With Armoury Crate installed, you can adjust thermal settings directly in the BIOS/UEFI to lower the temperature threshold or enable fan speed controls. This approach lets you set a specific temperature limit and allow the system to cool down once reached.
If its possible, have you seen the option to undervolt it? It will help reduce the thermals.
It won't really work unless you're reducing the voltage too much. In some situations it might hurt performance, but if done properly it can improve boost clocks because of cooler temperatures. I'm not sure if this video is accurate, but it does a good job explaining it. It shouldn't get too hot unless you're using a lot of power, so undervolting can be very helpful. If you control the temperature, the CPU will protect itself by slowing down, which is called throttling. I believe you can tweak this setting in the BIOS to decide when to throttle, though I wouldn't suggest it.
