un cambio de bios resuelve el problema? he visto opiniones opuestas al respecto.
saludos

I will try this on the Asus FX 504 GD with the 1050 graphics card and the i5 8300H

I watched the following you tube clip: https://youtu.be/VhXIiBPJseI and here they use throttlestop 8.7 to remove power limit throttling.
Could this be an answer to the FX504gm performance issues? Your replies are appreciated 

so if I buy a 180w power brick, the problem goes away?

I've speed read the entire thread and I still think the problem is not entirely solved... So I'm going to ask a stupid question... Are you running single channel memory or dual channel? Before you get your pitchforks and torches I saw someone solving the same problem on a similarly build laptop from another manufactor simply by adding another stick of RAM... Not sure why it solved the problem, not even the guy who did it undertood I guess, but the stutters and thermal throtteling went away.

nice workaround, but you lose performance by underclocking your GPU, you could just undervolt the GPU & CPU, then limit the CPU to 3,6 GHz/ 3,5 GHz (-157.2 mV) with throttlestop.
I undervolted & overclocked my FX504GE(i7 & 1050ti) GPU on the same time to 1835 MHz @ 925mV & gaming is very smooth & CPU stable around 3,2 GHz to 3,6 GHz on all cores even if it's using 25W while gaming, i use it DAILY. took quite a while of trial & error to squeeze the most performance tho, so.. take your time.
im also lucky to be able to overclock my screen refresh rate to 100 Hz using CRU (my panel is AUO41ED), but i only use 80 Hz daily because the difference to 100 Hz not worth the color degradation.
 
i also hear people with FX504GE just got 315 BIOS update from windows update and experience heat issues. can anyone confirm? im curious what changes that version made
 

I tried to keep the gpu as high frequency as possible and have the 35w for cpu. There is not much difference in having steady 1550ghz for gpu than try to push +1700ghz and occasionally 1800mhz. I noticed that it tends to fluxuate more when trying to push more than 1600mhz. and same time lose cpu from solid 3,6ghz to 3,0-3,1ghz, and some dips even 2,8ghz (25w).
I have better experience with lower gpu and 35w for cpu while playing cpu-intensive games like battlefield 1. And im still testing and finding the limits with cpu and gpu. But these are my first findigs, that you can have more than 25w for the cpu, but you have to lower the gpu frequency.
When playing something like Overwatch i can push the gpu as far as it goes and cpu holds the 3,6ghz but it does it with 25w. Because its not so cpu intensive. 
 
Im not sure should the gpu go much over 1600ghz, its rated for 1670ghz with 80w tdp.
 
But anyways, we should really push asus for them to release better bios for our laptops. The cooling is sufficient for handling steady 1600mhz for gpu and for the cpu 3,8ghz.
And i the 150w powersupply sufficient? Just about... 80w for gpu and 45-70W for cpu. It should be good with 45w constant draw. Not much more.
Maybe we could use more powerful power supply? like this on...

Edit: now i got it running 3,6ghz 35w for the cpu and 1650ghz/4100ghz gpu.
And i got from 303 to 305 bios update manually, from device manager-> system firmware-> search automatically for update.
Even asus support dont have the 305 bios for my device.

as far as I've read photo/video editing is kind of a struggle for the cooling of this laptop and that is the source of the throttling problem, so if you are planing on heavy duty processor-depending task maybe the heat from the i7 8750H will be too much. on the other hand that difference in price and quality of screen is a major point in favor of the FX504. I would analyze it like this: does 1187USD afford other machine with these specs (probably not, I asume you have looked for a lot, haha) so I would then think in the amount of editing I would put into the pc, could I say is heavy or light editing? 
In my experience, in light gaming and everyday use this pc goes well, cant tell about editing as I dont work with that, but honestly I've hear some bad and good reviews there. Some people has got cinebench scores of over 1200 after undervolting so no reason to believe you wouldn't get the same performance after doing that adjustment (undervolting seems to have no danger associated). some people have even taken the laptop to asus for repasting and I remember a guy who asked for a motherboard replacement, maybe that also changed the BIOS, I dont know (his story is in this same thread). 
Hope to be of help, good luck!!

Hi everyone, I just got this laptop FX504 I7 8750h GTX1060. I see the problem as software related, and not hardware and not cooling. The cooling capability actually seems quite good. The problem seems to be the software limiting CPU power to only 25w rather than 45w as it should do. 
 
I started with benching cinebench, scores around 870 with power throttling to 25w, so I changed these settings to much improve the score. Intel XTU used, not throttlestop.
 
Core offset voltage -120
Processor graphics offset voltage -20
Fan mode overboost
 
Apply settings and benched again on cinebench and score is much improved, 1221. So I run prime 95, you see in my image the CPU starts off at 3.9GHz for the boost @ roughly 60w and then settles with power throttling as it should at 45w and the CPU is at 3.5GHz steady. Now, restart PC and try bench again... 870 and power throttling to 25w TDP, reapply settings above and re run cinebench and back to 1225 this time. 
 
Seems to me the problem, is software related possibly to do with the fan control. I had a watt monitor on my plug, when the CPU TDP is throttled to 25w it is only pulling 60w from the wall, when it sits at 45w it pulls 110w or more. 
 
I played the forza 4 horizon demo and the machine works very well, I hope it continues as such, now to find a way to stop the settings resetting when the machine is switched off.
 
 

LOL, Motherboard VR is voltage regulator module, it controls the volt that will be delivered to the cpu.

Gaming is going good for me, but the CPU never boosts. It always remains in the steady 2.3GHZ base clock. Intel XTU shows occasional power limit throttling, but one thing I noticed is "Motherboard VR thermal throttling" is always high. Does anyone experience this? Mine is the 8300H w/ gtx 1050 ti model.

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.
