Thank you all for the help, I am not entirely sure how it happened, but I noticed in the resources page that my cpu was not turboing back up after it went into and idle state and was sitting at 0.4 frequency. I managed to get a fresh copy of Windows downloaded and installed off of a bookable drive and followed the advice from #Rickster and #BorisBukowsky and once I started to reinstall the asus software the laptop turboed right back up all be it to over 3.5ghz 140% at times. It has started to behave like a new computer should. Thank you all for the help.
Hey, I have the same machine, but don't have any such issues
There is a couple of things you might want to try
Disable Asus services - This includes things like diagnosis, remote management, Asus Link etc. You will find a list in Task manager right at the top. Do not uninstall anything related to Armoury crate, this includes ROG Live service, Refresh Rate Service and more.
Switch your power plan - Okay so this is a dumb suggestion, but in case you havent already, swicth to Turbo in Armoury Crate and then see if the laptio throttles and comes to a stop under load...
Switch your power plan #2 - So if this does not work, head over to your power options and make sure the power plan that you have selected is 'Asus Recommended' when 'Silent' is selected in Armoury crate. Ensure this. In case you screw up, it should be Balanced in power options for 'Balanced;' in armoury crate and 'High Performance' for turbo in armoury crate
If the laptop is more than a year old then use compressed air to clean your fans, the fins on this machine are notorious for catching dust and hair
Lastly if nothing works, i recommend you try a Windows 10 reinstall from a boot drive and not the cloud.....This will not install Asus software which controls your performance output drastically in the backgrond to increase performance
Although Windows should manage your laptop properly and turbo it as well, you will be unable to get fan curves and turbo sustain that Asus adds with Armoury crate
However if all works after this with only Windows managing your system then you can start installing Asus OEM software one by one from their offical support site
