I've been using an Asus gaming laptop for approximately 8 months. Here is how its specs go:
Intel i7 6700hq processor
Nvidia Geforce GTX 965m
16 gigs of ram
128 gb ssd
1 tb hdd
It definitely isn't the most powerful setup, but it should be decent at medium settings overall. The problem is, I've been getting random fps drops/spikes whatever that is. For example I start up MGSV:TP, it runs at a solid 60 fps for about 15 minutes, and then heartbreakingly drops to 15-20 fps for a solid 10-20 seconds, and then it jumps to 60 again. The same goes for Rainbow Six: Siege, BF4 and 1, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided... and the list goes on.
I monitored my GPU during these spikes using GPU-Z. As it seems the GPU usage falls down to zero percent, showing it is caused by heating.
I haven't voided warrenty and it's for 2 years. Should I take off the rear panels and give it a nice clean up and re-apply the thermal paste, or should I send it to tech support? Or could there be another problem causing overheating?
