Sudden fps drops with Nitro 5 an515-54 2019

My laptop (an515-54 with 9750h 16 gigs of ram and a gtx 1650) with a stable undervolt of -125mv and stable oc of +205 core and +830 memory (no voltage increase) will suddenly experience frame drops in games that are both gpu and cpu heavy like tabg, fortnite, etc... and the power usage of the cpu and gpu becomes very low which makes me think that it has something to do with the power adapter.  Any fixes?

Hi @schwartzie,

There are two main reasons as to why you are having low fps. Second, you are thermal throttling. Nitro 5 is a great budget laptop but it is infamously notorious for bad cooling. If you have bad cooling, CPUs and GPUs typically underclock to prevent anymore heat waste. Try to run your computer in a cool place and check if there is proper airflow available at the bottom of the laptop. If the problem still persists, undervolt the CPU and the GPU. Let me know if Nitrosense did the job, if not, try undervolting. If the problem still persists, undervolt the CPU and the GPU.
