If you see (**% throttling – Overheat Detected) – crank up fans to a maximum.Ĥ. If everything is fine you will see 100% load on CPU with long green line underneath.ģ. Same, install AIDA64 and run stress-test for CPU + GPU, or run your favourite game:ġ.Ěfter 30 minutes of gameplay or 5-10 minutes of stress testing check graphs.Ģ. Feel free to contact retailer and show them proofs that there is a problems with your laptop. And this is NOT OK!Īnd if you see “2” or “3” under FAN BOOST or 100% fan spinning – THIS IS DEFFINETLY NOT OK!Īfter doing Parts 3 & 4 you can assure that laptop is running 100% fine, or it doesn’t. We will look at PerfCap, and you should make a Pivot table which shows every second of logging followed by PerfCap.Īgain, long story short: if you see PerfCap retrieving codes “2” and “3” means that GPU is under thermal throttling.

You shouldn’t be a quantum or data analytics guy to spot the following:Ħ. Try different settings making sure the game running smooth. Notice your gameplay: freezes, FPS drop and stuttering. txt log via excel (File -> Open -> Change type (Text files) -> Text to Columns wizard, and make pivot table.ĥ. Follow next steps:ġ.Ğnable logging and run you’re favorite game (it should be fresh AAA title like Assassin’s Creed, or Mass Affect Andromeda – an application which will stress both GPU and CPU and cooling system).Ģ. This step will be a bit more complicated than previous one. Doing this will make you sure that CPU and cooling systems runs 100% fine. So this is how you should get on with CPU.
