Posted August 9, 2018 I just bought a ROG Strix Scar GL503GE with i7-8750H and GTX 1050Ti. After buy it, right away, I update all the Drivers include the BIOS to v 308. I haven't tested the BIOS v306, but my laptop is overheating. Just after I press the render on Adobe Premiere, on XTU, it said Motherboard VR Throttling. The CPU clock speed jump from 3.9 Ghz to 2.2 Ghz. Not only that, when I play Overwatch on High Setting, the CPU clock even go down to 0.8Ghz. And yes, I did turn on Over boost, and l even lift it up, so that the fan get as much air as possible. But the CPU sitll down to 0.8Ghz. Is anyone uesd the ROG Strix Scar GL503GE that have the same problem like me? Or it was a bad machine among the good ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 9, 2018 Its a thin and light Gaming laptop, completely to be expected to throttle under heavy workloads. Rendering videos is a pretty heavy CPU workload, and Gaming can be without adequete cooling as these thin and lights are pretty bleh at it My Gaming and Editing Rig : http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/500716-red-gaming-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 9, 2018 Going by what the inside of this laptop looks like, I'm honestly not surprised that it's thermal throttling when you throw a full load at it: Spoiler Your best option would be to undervolt and if that doesn't work, probably liquid metal(be extremely careful doing this).

But I tested on Aida 64, and there is no thermal throttling on the CPU. And for comparing, the Asus TUF Gaming FX504GE-E4059T have the same Hardware as the ROG, same wight, thickness, same case but on gaming, the CPU keep it self at 3.2 Ghz and GPU max load. I did test Render on the other machine, and it get a higher clock speed. 3.0ghz and never go down to 0.8Ghz. And remember that the TUF is a cheaper version of the ROG.
