HI fellow G750jx users,
thanks to hmscott i was able to solve a very critical Thermal Throttling issue whilst benchmarking with the Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility.
As it seems the versions newer than 4.2.0.8 have an additional feature called "Power Limit Throttling" which could be causing that strange behaviour.
XTU 4.4.0.4 Stress Test (5 minutes) causes the i7 in our g70jx to unexpectetly activate thermal throttling without even reaching crititcal temperatures like 90° or higher:
XTU 4.2.0.8 Stress Test (5 minutes) in turn shows no sign of Thermal Throttling at all:
Thanks again to hmscott for being such a good help to all of us. I was about to open that thing, google for repaste guides, heatsink optmization and what not ;).
Moral of the Story: Don't always expect the worst. It could just be just one piece of software or driver.
Regards,
Max

Hello,
So my G750JW throttles at reasonably low temperature 80-85 really have no idea why, this did not used to happen few months ago, however it did used to throttle but when my CPU wasn't undervolted now it is -120 undervolted and been like that for 2 months. This is a screenshot of stress test, with whatever version previous 4.4.0.4 XTU however same happens after I updated XTU to 4.4.0.4. I mean throttling at 85c is ridiculous right?

senttel, click on the Intel logo on the XTU app, and it will tell you the version number. It looks like some Asus G750's don't like the XTU versions past 4.2.0.8, and cause the G750 to throttle - not thermal throttle, just throttle.
Try uninstalling XTU you have, and download XTU 4.2.0.8 and test it again.
Please come back and let us know if that does or does not stop the throttling
Well, well. Just done the same test again, and it's throttling.
It definitely didn't do it first time around! Wish I'd taken a screen shot.
My BIOS is 209. It could have been since I upgraded to 8.1. Not sure, but I haven't really changed anything else. Just the NVidia driver, and a shed load of Windows updates inc 8.1.
