I am looking for a solution for this for few days, as I said, I will give the one who succesfully helps me a small thank full gift(10 euros, through bank transfer)
Just got a Acer Nitro 5 (Laptop) with i7 11800h and rtx 3060, and I'm experiencing a very odd issue with the CPU throttling under heavy load and low temperatures. This can last anywhere from 1 minute-10 minute, where afterwards the CPU will skyrocket to an overclocked speed, and the application will no longer be lagging heavily. Then, this will last for some time, and then the cycle repeats.
So my CPU is throttling down to an abysmal 0.79ghz (basically making every program near unusable). the CPU is only at a meager 40 degrees(75 max while gaming) celsius, which is nothing at all for computer hardware.
I am connected to a power source, and all my power management are on performance, meaning it should not be due to the laptop attempting to conserve power.
This laptop has a discrete GPU but I have noticed when I am using a GPU-heavy application, that it uses the Intel Integrated Graphics card.
These issues seem unrelated but I believe they may some how be conected. Perhaps the iGPU is causing some sort of throttling with the CPU?
Or maybe the CPU is experiencing high temps while in an overclock speed, and then clocks down to 0.79ghz to cool off.
I tried disabling Turbo boost, and set maximum 3000Mhz cpu power, but no effect.
If this is the case, is there a way to prevent the overclock speeds and simply run at a moderate 2.7ghz to balance speed and temperature? I certainly don't need the full overclock 4.3ghz. Might play around with the power management and see what happens.
Btw, when I checked the thermal throttling "box" on Intel XTU when monitoring cpu is 90% of the time in the Yes state ("Range NO-YES") even tough temp doesn't pass 75°
