    sickomode got a reaction from Moonzy in CPU works perfectly in everything other than games   
    I actually tried overclocking the gpu by 50 Mhz but it went wrong a while ago. Maybe that can be the problem if you say that i am GPU limited.
    Thank you very much for the help!

    from the photo, you're more gpu limited than cpu
    try turning the game graphics down more, or turn the resolution down
    and make sure your laptop isnt overheating

    I saw once laptop that stuck in lower frequency in CPU. Disabling fast startup helps then. But that is not probably solution here. Try to set some power options.

    No, the time limit can also be disabled on systems that allow it.

    if your car doesnt have a big enough fuel tank or cooling to sustain that speed, it'll burn and melt
     
    same goes for intel cpu, they turbo to speed up small tasks, like loading a browser page, and doesnt have to run as fast when user is just reading the page (higher freq=lower latency)
     
    there are power constraints too, 4 cores at lower speed can run more operations than a single core at higher speed, given the same power budget (frequency doesnt scale linear with power draw, it's an exponential curve), so if your load can utilise multi-cores, it's better to run it with lower frequency multi-cores
     
    that said, intel does implement a timer for their turbo boost if i remembered correctly, even with unlimited power and thermal headroom, their turbo dont run sustained, so idk what's with that

    This is really strange if you think about it - cpu boost for a while when it's not really needed (who cares small boost in few seconds operation) and is lower when you really needs power. It's like buying a car that can speed up to 200 km/h in 10 seconds, but can only drive that speed for next 10 seconds and then slows down to 80.

    Rgb kinda takes me out of this one.  Rgb is proprietary.  It goes by product line so you pick the rgb product line and it limits everything else.  Rgb destroys the entire concept of white box imho.
     
    Theres an argument for ignoring RGB, building your system, and then figuring out what rgb you can fit on it.

    evolv shift -  nice case but doesn't run the coolest. There is and air version with better cooling
