I have been having this same issue for about 2 months now. I have tried throttle stop, messing with battery settings, changing BIOS, and nothing has worked. I'm beyond it at this point and considering just selling this and buying a new laptop. You are the only one I've seen with a similar issue. Curious if you have found a solution yet or if this still remains unsolved.
I'm in the same boat with my ASUS GM501GS. It appears to just be when I'm playing games, but it'll spin up into overboost-like speeds when I'm running non-gaming applications. In order to play games (mainly Overwatch),I have to run a small fan behind the laptop to cool it down in order to play but even then temps are always like 90C.
I have tried updating BIOS, reinstalling ROG Gaming Center, upgrading/downgrading nvidia drivers, updating various other drivers, but nothing has worked.
I have also tried applications that supposedly let you control the fans manually (SpeedFan, for example) but they didn't work either. One application doesn't "see" the fans.
I called ASUS Support and they told me to reinstall ROG Gaming Center, but that didn't work.
Has anyone found a way to solve this?
Is there a way to bypass whatever is controlling the fan speed?
How do we get ASUS support/developers' attention on this?
