Pretty much, from previous testing it seems relate in some way to the UHD 630. Seems to mostly be applications that probe the UHD 630 for data in some way, so mostly monitoring and benchmarking software. However as others have mentioned some games are affect and unfortunately the only way to know which ones is to try.

This is incorrect, the power limit throttling is not linked to overboost. It occurs when certain software is open. Turn on overboost, open XTU, then open software that has previously shown the symptoms (eg; HWMonitor) and you will see power limit throttling.
-
I can see it on the website, but is it actually for sale anywhere? This isn't very relevent if it still has the same throttling issues. Do we actually know the fx505 doesn't have the same problem, to me if you decide to avoid the fx504 I would also avoid the fx505.
-
I think Cinebench is an program that is affected.

Do you get a "Are you sure you want to do this" type prompt when you use either the enable or disable shortcut? It's probably worth manually verifying the workaround works for you to start with. Please can you try the following; Open device manager Expand display adapters, right click and disable the UHD 630. Restart Open device manager & enable the UHD. After this do a short test in the game/application you were having issues with before. Please let me know how the test goes.

Your cinebench score is around 200-250 points below what I would expect if you had no throttling. The inbuilt benchmarks in XTU do not cause the throttling. If you have cinebench running at the same time as XTU is open do you see any throttling?

When you use the files are they successfully enabling/disabling the UHD 630? The screen will go black briefly if they are.

Motherboard has white residue
Edgehill replied to ExalyThor's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Why are cleaning a motherboard in the first place? If you are using 70% alcohol you are effectively leaving 30% of something on your components. Do not turn it on a you may short something, get some propper 99% isopropyl to remove the residue. -
Posting this in case it's helpful for any FX504 owners. As Asus aren't going to fix this I've set up a couple of batch files to make implementing the workaround I have previously mentioned quicker and easier. I've attached a file to this post; Download and extract the file Copy files from the Desktop folder to the desktop Move Devcon folder into C:/Program Files The "Enable 630" desktop shortcut enables the UHD 630 The "Disable 630 & Shutdown" disables the UHD 630 waits a second then shutdowns the laptop. So rather than shutting down the usual way use "Disable 630 & Shutdown" and when you next boot up click "Enable 630". This will stop the throttling in the majority of programs, the only exception I have found so far is ASUS real bench. I did want to automate this with startup and shutdown but I couldn't manage this because of UAC prompts. I have the 8300H/1050 ti model the files might need small modifications for other models, but I'm happy to help with this if needed. FX504_Fix.zip

i7-8750H 4 core vs 6 core performance
Edgehill replied to Jedi_king's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
Plenty of modern games utilise more than 4 cores. I would be surprised if a 0.2ghz clock boost is more advantageous that an extra 2 core/4 threads. -
It doesn't sound like your 8750H is thermal throttling so fan settings won't do a lot. I think you're hitting the higher clocks during the initial short power boost after this you drop down to the 45W TDP limit. Undervolting will reduce the overall wattage need to hit clock speeds and will result in you being able to hit a higher clock at 45W. However I don't think this will be enough to mantain 3.9ghz. The only way to maintain 3.9ghz would be increasing the "Turbo boost power max". I would strongly recommend not doing this as you will be running outside of intel's specification for a minimal performance improvement. Also doing this may result in running into thermal throttling.

The only other thing I can think to try is removing components. So unplug all usb (except keyboard, mouse), remove all PCI, PCIE cards and remove RAM. If you can then get into the BIOS add things back one by one to see what was causing the issue. If you still can't post after this then you probably have a dead component.

If you haven't already done so you could try clearing the cmos.

My eyes are really sensitive to glare and reflections, so I massively prefere matte. But this is going to entirely be down to personal preference.

If your running 4K today you can go over 8GB. BLOP3 for example uses lots of VRAM, remember seeing a review that was hitting 12GB.
