ATTENTION: G73/53SW Owners - CPU Throttling to 798mhz and how to fix it

[JRd1st]

I'm hoping that rather than having people cooking bios's, Asus will release an official bios that has what we need in it.

very glad I stumbled onto this thread. I've currently got a G60JX but next week i'm ordering my G74SX-RH71, and I will be sure to keep my eye out for the throttling. I know it may not be much, but if it does happen to me I'll see what I can do to pester Asus as a customer to see if they'll ever do anything for it lol.

How did you create the logs in the first post? I would also like to check. You have several programs listed, but I was not sure which one created the logs.

g53 sw
throttle stop made a big difference on BF3

running fairly high settings on 1080 with ssoa and AA high

getting 35-55 fps on Caspian border 64players (most demanding in my view)

was getting really low fps on low settings before i did that

1hour gameplay
Cpu max temp 86c
Gpu max temp 85c

gpu overclocked using msi afterburner. 750/1500/1450 (stable)

thanks!

This only occurs when running on battery correct?

Is this throttling issue a common problem for majority of user?

Appreciate if users can PM me, in turn i will collate them all and revert them back to rightful dept.

Thanks

just to make sure, in your original post you say just to load the exe and it should be fine. i noticed a "Turn On" button on the bottom right hand corner... we obviously have to click Turn On first right?

Load exe, click Turn On, click Save.

That ok?

I cant get this program to work as it shoul at all, it is still throttling.
Any Suggestions?
