Guess same problem with GX501GI after all

Which of the GX501 is this - there are several ones - mine is GX501GI for instance - I have had it for 1 year and use it every day and no problem.

Thermal Grizzly is very good but I like the pads I linked in my previous reply ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CK9SHZG ) - they are not messy like paste and they are seriously almost as...

or / and you could also try one of these below - there are various ones on the market and some work better than others - not too bad in the end especially if the temps in your country can be high.

If it is warmer then set a lower turbo ratio limit value for 5-6 cores or even all of them - I would try 36 and even 35 or 34 - it should bring down the temps a bit more. Try this at least - go with...

Please and as I mentioned do NOT set the settings in the Turbo Power Limits window I had attached (the last screenshot) - it was just an informational one for what I set but I don't have CPU heat...

Is that better than before at all?

Here are my ThrottleStop settings - I have attached the main screen, the FIVR one (make sure to undervolt to something that is stable enough - if you don't know, you can start with -100mv for the...

TEIX, for the sake of it, run a game or whatever benchmark you use when you measure temps but this time, disable turbo boost and post your temps results. I'd like to see if something else is wrong...

Very nice. Yes I agree about the QA part - I guess I was lucky with mine to a degree although if I had not used throttlestop and undervolted it to -150mv for both core and cache and then repaste it I...

Yes it is totally unacceptable indeed. am guessing it is too late for you to return it? Your last resort might be to sell it or trade it in once you have it looked at again.

What are the highest...

Sure. What do you mean by profile? I can post my throttleStop settings if this is what you meant? I can confirm my CPU temps rarely go over 90c and I play CPU intensive games. I did repaste my...

I have the GX501GI with 1080 Max-Q and same i7 - On high cpu games my cpu temps are 85-90c - I was able to undervolt the i7 to -155.3 rock stable - I also run with the CPU set on overboost - I use...

For the little story, I never had to reinstall Win 10 to fix it - I definitely had this problem before. I do believe in my case that bios 306 might have fixed it - I no longer have this issue and...

You might want to check in the bios if there is such an option.

You guys should disable auto-install of updates in Windows. In my case, this was one of the first thing I did when I got the machine and I can then decide when to install updates by priory checking ...

I haven't had this problem for quite some time so not sure what fixed it. maybe the latest 306 bios? I have the laptop on high performance all the time.

Ok good to know am not the only one ;)

System has been stable so far
