  1. My 8750h+1060 model can achieve 45w stably, and can go to about 70w as the peak power consumption for seconds. The only thing I need to do for achieving this TDP is to enter the overboost mode by fn+f5 (306 bios). One thing locked by BIOS is the 25w TDP imposed when the GPU and CPU are working together. So I think throttlestop cannot help.
  2. I don't think so since this is a bios lock. By the way, is it normal to hear the fan noise at the silent mode? My silent mode is not silent at all. Thanks
  3. FX504GM.306 306 bios. I got this from windows updates. I don't know what asus have done in this version, but 25w limit still exists when cpu and gpu are used together.
  4. No! Bios Lock! However, I think this can do goods to your battery. The battery life would be longer..
  5. I also tried 305 BIOS given by dante5102. The phenomenon is nearly the same. I undervolt cpu by -175mv.It can run at 3ghz*6core at 25W, which is comparable to other laptops with similar spec. So I have no problem with my games. The actual problem is the fan control in linux. I cannot overboost my fans. This means that both GPU and CPU cannot function properly in linux due to the heat throttle.
  6. Here is one of my test, which may show the problem: 1) using benchmark software, we can drive CPU to 45 watt 2) open a gpu demanding software, like furmark. start GPU test. we can see that CPU power drops to 25w immediately. 3) even if we close this gpu software, the CPU still remains 25W, and cannot recover to 45 watt full power. you need to switch out of overboost mode and then switch into it to re-enable the 45 Watt. This problem can cause continuous frame drops in games!
  7. Based on my testing, this power throttle mechanism is triggered when the load is larger than a threshold. I think this mechanism is for the protection of the power system, since the power brick is only 150 watt, which is insufficient for a 8750h+1060 configuration. So, it is reasonable to give a 25w limit to the CPU when the load is too large. However, I think the real problem lies in the limitation removal judge statement. I found I cannot remove this 25w limitation even if the load returns to a normal state. The only cure seems to be pressing fn+f5 for 3 times manually, when the load is lower than a threshold.. If I am correct, I hope Asus's BIOS engineers can make a smarter BIOS, which can quit the 25w limitation automatically and also rapidly.. By the way, my model is fx504gm-es74. Everything seems to be good unless I use CPU and GPU at the same time.. Hope my poster can help.
