I recently discovered that my new Aspire 5 with the MX150's CPU Power Limit Throttles when the GPU is pegged at 100% usage.

image.thumb.png.a7a7507886a49991fbd8f628b4dabc16.pngAt normal usage.

image.thumb.png.c081d3d389be657efbe01f7368ba2450.pngAt full usage.

This causes terrible frame drops, which get really annoying.

Can anyone help me?

 

Edit: I just called Acer Tech Support and the guy was very unhelpful and suggested me to reinstall windows.

I believe that'd be because they're sharing a heat pipe.

So it does that to avoid overheating?

No, it's just a thing laptop manufacturers do to reduce costs I believe. Shared heat pipe means that both CPU and GPU are under one heatpipe when they should each have one.

that=throttle.

So it throttles in order to not overheat?

They might not be sharing a heat pipe however, I have not seen the inside of the laptop. Re-paste and see if it helps, if not try to increase fan speeds.

Will do, It does have a single shared heatpipe.
