Sandybridge Throttle Issue and Workaround

[Chastity@ASUS]

Is this a problem for the G53SW too?

If you have a Sandybridge, it's an issue

Just got my g53sw-a1 followed the instructions in this thread doesn't seem to do anything in any source engine game it will run at 200 fps then flicker and drop to 20-30 fps constantly. any ideas? throttle stop 3.00 bdprochot is unchecked and saved Of course the majority of the the time I will be using it unplugged but just wondering if there is anything

That's something else and my guess would be drivers. I've had problems with Logitech drivers and source games a few years back and also with graphics drivers so I would just make sure that all of your drivers are as updated as possible.

I got a g74sx-xt1. I updated the bios and drivers from asus site. I downloaded the throttlestop and installed as directed. When I start some of the stress test, the cpu goes to 2.6mhz and a few second later drops to 2.3mhz and stays there no matter what. I noticed also that i cannot check or uncheck bd prochot. Was the issue fixed with the 202 bios?

You have to "unlock bidirectional prochot" first before you can select "bd prochot".

Good luck, man!

It's in the Options menu

To make it clear, I want to have BD PROCHOT disabled in the main menu and Unlock BD PROCHOT enabled in options menu yes?

Any idea when they will fix this problem with a bios update? Also is there any risk in me doing this? I don't want to fry my new laptop or my wife who knows nothing about computers , but at times will use my laptop.

So i have the newest edition of throttle stop 3.5 and inside my options "unlock bidirectional PROCHOT" is already checked off and on the main menu BD PROCHOT is not checked off. IS this how it should be or am i misunderstanding you guys? ALso after doing this do you select "Turn ON" and then close then just minimize it or what?

[Ramanos]

Are there any other known solutions for this? I have had this problem for some time, and this doesn't seem to do anything to fix it.
