Aspire E 14 E5-476G-52N9 throttling in games
Hi,
I am experiencing severe throttling issues with my laptop. Spec is i5-8250u and MX150. I cannot play any modern game that I have tried beyond 5 minutes(Dota 2, GTA V, Madden 19). I can play them well for about 5 minutes before throttling kicks in and I am unable to play. Tried GTA V with the lowest possible settings and still throttling and it's not some minor FPS drops from time to time, the game basically stops for about 5 seconds, stutters for 3 seconds, then stops again. It's unplayable.
I have tried every possible solution that I have seen except taking apart the laptop as it will void the warranty if I do so. Undervolting, cooling pad, elevated laptop for better airflow, latest drivers. I am getting around 75-85 degrees when playing.
Is there anything I can do? I badly want to have this laptop refunded as it's been really disappointing but I don't think I can do that. Is there anything else I can do to have this remedied?
