For all of you wanting Asus to unlock the TDP restrictions, they did it a long time ago with their first BIOS version.
Asus usually only shows up the latest bios version available in their webpage but you can download their previous versions just by changing the name of the download link.
For example this is the 308 BIOS version. Just by changing these 3 numbers you can download their previous releases.
I took the job of finding their first release and it is 201.

I guess all of us bought this laptop with the 303 version and therefore the complaints. Now you just have to roll back but remember to first uninstall and disable the "System Firmware" driver in the device manager otherwise Windows will install the 303 version (or newer) again without asking you.
I'm attaching an image to show you guys the rivatuner readings when stressing my cpu.
But anyway it is pointless to unleash all the power of this laptop since it is only capable of consuming 150W (check your power brick specifications and laptop power input). Not enough for a I7-8750H + 1060 6GB, these two will compete for power and cause stuttering again while playing; the difference with the following BIOS releases is that the laptop throttles the cpu in any scenario.
The only way to go with this laptop is by undervolting both your CPU AND GPU. It will never reach its max potential when gaming. Moreover disabling the APM helped me a lot since Windows 10 aggressively parks the HDD constantly and this is another reason for the stuttering.
I recommend you that if you're going to undervolt install the 301 BIOS version. This gave me great results and stability despite only being capable of giving 25W.
If theres someone that has a 180W (or more) power brick adaptor please try and connect it to this laptop with the 201 version and see what happens. Thanks.
Apologies for my english.
seekr99 got a reaction from estalin avalos calle in i7 8750h - Power Limit Throttling - Low TDP Even though cooling is capable
