CPU 50 °C to 95 °C in a few seconds.

Hi! I have a Predator Helios 300. The issue I'm having is that my laptop runs extremely hot when plugged into the AC power. CPU goes from 50 °C to 95 °C in about five seconds after plugging it in. The performance is much better with AC in though, I can play 4k videos without problem, but when not plugged in it is choppy as hell - with exactly the same power plan, I may add. In Oculus when playing No Man's Sky (for instance) the sensors loose tracking of controllers (but you can still click buttons and rotate them) and the performance drops like a *****. It's like the pc does a "jump" and everything goes to hell. I tried this fix recently by user meloandrefilipe:

This is the best solution and most stable that I found to fix this fps drops and performance issues on the predator 300.

1 - Don't play your games while your battery is lower then40%!!!

your laptop will use power from the adapter and the battery it self, during the game session, the battery will stay at the percentage that you had when you start playing, specialy in games that demand graphic process. (in case of csgo as it is a CPU game, your battery well keep to charge).

2- Use Throttlestop (aka TS) instead of Intel XTU

Create multi profiles for your laptop on TS for diferent tasks


This settings are for the Intel® Core™ i7-8750H Hexa-Core




2.1- Battery profile 

This settings are for the Intel® Core™ i7-8750H Hexa-Core





One image is for CPU core and the other for CPU cache, check both!! 

2.2 - Game Profile

This settings are for the Intel® Core™ i7-8750H Hexa-Core






One image is for CPU core and the other for CPU cache, check both!! 

Notes: 
I only have 2 profiles, you can create more as you disire (dont get a more negative value on offset voltage, I would say -141 is the limit as my laptop crashed with more negative values).

This settings are for the Intel® Core™ i7-8750H Hexa-Core

You can play on battery profile (with the charger pluged in Ofc, you will still get some decent fps, but for the sweet stuff go play on game profile ).

Hope this help's you

And It got a little bit better. My computer "jumped" back quicker and it took longer for the issue to appear. What do you think the issue may be, and how can I solve it?

Things I have tried:

• Formatting my laptop.
• Tried installing/uninstalling all sorts of drivers for every component in my laptop.
• Unplugging and replugging sensors in different USB-ports.
• Reinstalling Oculus software.
• Reinstalling SteamVR.
• Tried beta versions of Oculus software.
• Contacting Oculus Support.

My specs:

• Windows 10, 64-bit

• Intel Core i7-8750H 2.20GHz (hexacore)

• Geforce GTX 1060, 6144Mb

• 16 Gb RAM

Many thanks!
