Let me help you understand how to use the software. Focus on the main tasks and look for clear instructions or prompts during each step. Keep your attention on the interface and any highlighted actions. If something is unclear, pause and recheck the guidance provided.
Didn't see the video, but it should match closely. Watch out for CPU reaching 90% or higher (it throttles at 100). Also verify power constraints—should rise to about 3.3GHz during real tasks, or you might be stuck at base speed if the laptop limits power. You might also try Intel XTU, which can indicate power throttling.
Hey, sorry for the delayed reply—I was occupied with exams and couldn’t test my laptop. I ran a test on Metro Last Light Redux with high graphics settings at 900p, and I was seeing around 33-34fps. The CPU temperature on the XTU stayed below 76°C, so it seems the thermal paste isn’t needed right now. I haven’t seen it go past 80°C before.
Also I'm having trouble with COD BO1 on it. FPS drops to 12, but I can play COD BO2 with ultra settings at 900p consistently around 52fps. I think only certain games are too demanding for the system, even though the specs look good—like FC4 and NFS Payback. It seems like my setup can handle them, but after about five minutes it becomes unplayable. I guess it's just those specific titles that aren't working, even though they're technically capable. No thermal paste needed. What do you think?
