So Ive been using the laptop a lot this days to play Fortnite and Destiny 2. Seems I habe no more 0.39GHz throttling but still have fps drops from 120 to 40-60, and when im going Ultra graphics even to 20 fps. Thing is I never surpass the 190 fos in fortnite with everything in low, even the 3D resolution set to 40% lmao

 

Anyone who fixed the throttling issue with repasting it or removing the fans can actually get 240fps in games like fortnite or cs go?

 

Its like when i go with low setting on Destiny 2 it runs at max perfomance 100fps and drops to 90 fps and when Ii switch to Ultra graphs it still going with 90 fps and makes no sense for me.... any idea or suggestion?

I’ve played both games after repasting and removing the covers. I’m pretty sure that after the latest season started my performance on both my desktop and laptop suffered and frame drops became worse. I think it’s just something with the game. For destiny I noticed that it was more taxing on the CPU than the GPU so even thought your increasing the graphics the GPU is still able to handle it but it’s still being bottlenecked by the CPU.

Hi all, was adding a ssd to the laptop and I found the issue. 

To fan vents on the bottom are blocked with a plastic film. 

 

Will attach images to show you but when I cut it out and tested rise of the tomb raider and thief max settings it worked fine. 

 

Seems like something they did to pack the laptop but not told anyone lol. 

 

 

I cut the plastic out all 4 slots on both vents and now all is fine. I emailed Asus, just awaiting a reply. 

I've already done this in addition to repasting with Kryonaut. It seemed to help at first but the problem still happens, just less frequently.

Hi all, Asus are still looking into my case with the over heating. I have raised it too them are they are doing tests. I'd suggest you do the same. It's a good laptop just the bios temp curves are fucked. 

 

Its looking good on my end as second line Asus support are actually looking to replicate the issue. 

I also spoke with Asus proactive care and they asked me to send in a form with a bunch of information so their engineers can replicate the issue. I called back a few days later to ask about the status of it and they said they don't do that and the only way they can help is if I send my computer in. I'm pretty sure they're just trying to make it seem like they care, but they're not actually doing anything about it.
