During gaming i can see my CPU clock speed drop from 3.5ghz to 2.4ghz and maintains a temp of 85 celsius. The gpu gets around 85 and its clock speed does not vary it stays at 1.4-1.6ghz which is fine. The fan does spin at about 85-90% and yes it does get noisy which i normally do not notice because of my headphones and i always have music on. So my guess is that i do have CPU throttling but no GPU throttling. My question is how bad is this cpu clock drop for my overall performance? And i am guessing this is why the fan spins up so much. I should mention that i run Dota 2 on an external monitor at 2560x1440 resolutions at the highest settings in expanded display settings.

I have been a subscriber of LTT for years now and this video made me "sign up to the community forums" finally. I have an ASUS ROG GL553VE with a 7700HQ and a 1050 Ti. This laptop has only 1 fan and is surprisingly good at getting the heat out of the CPU and GPU the laptop surface does get warm but not hot. I am a software developer and gamer (mostly dota 2 and building games like Besiege, Scrap Mechanic, Beam NG etc.) Most of these games run well unless you are rendering a huge amount of objects for a certain scene. A HUGE amount of heat is coming out of the exhaust so much so that you cant hold your hand next to the exhaust. This tells me that it's good at taking all that heat and putting it outside. I haven't conducted any testing for throttling etc since i haven't had any issues. I'm thinking that doing this to my laptop will help with the cooling but having better conductivity will probably make the exhaust area put out even more heat since its going to get better at it. Any tips anyone?
