My Asus R558UQ-DM513D laptop has been throttling for quite a while now. I had the laptop repasted but that didn't seem to change the situation much. How can I fix these issues?

 

Specs :

 

i5 7200U

940MX

8GB DDR4

65W AC Adapter

Did you clean / dust out the CPU heatsink and cooling while your laptop was disassembled, and you re-did the thermal paste?

Also, did you CLEAN off the old thermal paste before applying the new amount?

 

The i5-7200U has a configurable TDP (e.g. power limit).

Standard TDP is 15W, but can be adjusted to as low as ~7.5W, and up to ~25W.

Despite being thermal and power throttled, your CPU is still boosting up to 2.7 GHz, above Base frequency (2.5 GHz).

no, it just means you will use less voltage (less heat) at the given frequency

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

however much your cpu can while remaining stable

Ok so I undervolted to -100mV, where it seems to be stable. Still facing Thermal Throttling tho. How should I fix that?

Where did you undervolt your cpu ? In the bios or software within windows ?

I personally prefer to do everything from within the bios as that’s before windows if that makes sense.

 

now your undervolt doesn’t get applied until XTu is up and running if that makes sense

Yeah it does. I will do so. But undervolting does not seem to fix thermal throttling. How could I fix thermal throttling?
