    Solved *Bizarre* Laptop Cooling Issue

    I don't know of any city on earth with an ambient temperature of 70 degrees Celsius xD I live in Morocco, it's relatively hot these days, I mean we're approaching summer, but it's not 70 Celsius, if it was I'd worry about cooling down myself lol This laptop isn't thin to be honest, it's...

    Solved *Bizarre* Laptop Cooling Issue

    Oooohh I see. Yeah that makes a lot of sense, thank you for clarifying! I did try some more efficient under-volt curves these past 2 days, and it seemed to make matters slightly better overall, I'll keep improving the under-volt 'til I settle on a proper all-rounder one.

    Solved *Bizarre* Laptop Cooling Issue

    You are right, it is a USB powered cooling pad, but I also bought this fan that- let me send you the Amazon link. It really blows considerable air. https://www.amazon.com/oimaster-Laptop-Adjustable-Cross-Flow-Cooling/dp/B07JJTMR7R/ref=sxin_9_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa

    Solved *Bizarre* Laptop Cooling Issue

    Alright then, I'll leave it alone haha. I know right? I thought taking out the battery would legitimately do something, but as far as gaming goes, performance tanked to the point where movements weren't even choppy, they were insanely slow and somehow appeared to be getting worse the more you...

    Solved *Bizarre* Laptop Cooling Issue

    Okay thank you for the rundown. All drivers are up to date as far as I'm aware, and I only set the power mode to Balanced since High Performance didn't show much difference. I am planning to update the BIOS, though I doubt that'll help since I believe I already have the latest version, I...

    Solved *Bizarre* Laptop Cooling Issue

    Woah, so whenever I unplugged the laptop it went to the integrated graphics? ****, I didn't expect decent performance from Intel 620 HD Graphics. And no I didn't upgrade the RAM, I assumed it won't exactly affect performance, and the laptop worked more than fine when doing daily tasks, so yeah...

    Solved *Bizarre* Laptop Cooling Issue

    So, I already made a topic similar to this a long while back, and since I have more info on the situation now, I thought I'd make an new one in the hopes of being able to fix this. My laptop has a GTX 1050, paired with an i7-7700HQ. And the problem is none other than overheating. But you see...

    Solved ASUS ROG Strix Laptop grossly under-performing *HELP NEEDED*

    Um, all my friends use desktops as far as I know. And even if someone had a notebook, it'll be an old HP laptop of some sort, so definitely not applying to this computer. I also noticed that the laptop gets charged quite quicker if I'm not using it, I think that's logical but I just came to...

    Solved ASUS ROG Strix Laptop grossly under-performing *HELP NEEDED*

    It's okay! :) I'm afraid the laptop doesn't have a removable battery :( The battery-life is actually quite bad, around 1 to 3 hours, depending of course on what I'm doing with the PC, the reason for this is the optical drive taking too much space inside the computer which means the battery has...

    Solved ASUS ROG Strix Laptop grossly under-performing *HELP NEEDED*

    Yes, I can definitely confirm this, the computer's charger causes this weird stuttering. I knew it wasn't normal to see the game lagging consistently, and that it had to be something effecting it other than the 'game' itself. Turns out whenever I plug-in the computer, the game starts to lag...

    Solved ASUS ROG Strix Laptop grossly under-performing *HELP NEEDED*

    I know right! Because it was my last hope :( But just a few minutes ago, I noticed that the performance on games got significantly better when my computer isn't plugged in. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Like games should run better when the computer is plugged-in as oppose to not...

    Solved ASUS ROG Strix Laptop grossly under-performing *HELP NEEDED*

    I actually installed Avast because Windows Defender failed to catch a crypto-currency mining virus known as 'Cloud Net'. But for this purpose, I deleted Avast completely, yet the games still stutter. Even Mirror's Edge drops frames, and that's a decade old game, significant tearing as well...

    Solved ASUS ROG Strix Laptop grossly under-performing *HELP NEEDED*

    Here's the Speccy analyzation, I'm pretty sure nothing here is bogging down on the CPU or GPU as the game is running but anyways: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/2ruerv3bRd7Zv4xwjtEeYaV And I run these games offline, but even with online games such as Fortnite, with a FIBER OPTIC 100 MB/S...

    Solved ASUS ROG Strix Laptop grossly under-performing *HELP NEEDED*

    So I bought this ASUS ROG Strix used laptop a few days ago, and It's pretty snappy when it comes to daily tasks such as browsing and watching HD/4K video, rocking a GTX 1050 (4 GB of VRAM) and an i7-7700 HQ, 16 GB of RAM, a 256 GB SSD accompanied with a 1 TB hard drive. It's the 17-inch ROG...
