Nitro AN515-57 - downclock CPU stuck for extended period of time

cheerkin

I got Nitro AN515-57 three months ago, using it for game development.

I get a weird performance issue periodically. CPU seems to get thermal or power throttled, but when the condition resolves it still stuck at 800MHz for 5-10 minutes, causing horrible system performance.

All bundled drivers are installed, bios is the latest one, windows power plan set to performance, laptop is always plugged.

I get it that laptop works on the edge of stability temperature-wise under load and I'm OK with short-term throttling, but what I get is clearly a bug.

Any tips how to solve this? I googled and found similar questions related to this laptop, but no valuable answers so far.

Welcome @cheerkin,

Try uninstalling the devices below in Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) to fix stuck frequency at 800 MHz:

• Microsoft AC Adapter
  
• Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery
• Intel® Core™ i5-11400H CPU

Then restart your computer! 😉

Regards.
