Hi,
so i have a problem with my 1 year old laptop (Asus K550JX).
The specs are:
i7 4720HQ
8 GB of RAM
GTX 950M 2 GB
1 TB HDD
The problem is that my CPU overheats like crazy. It idles around 60-70°C and as soon as I run any program it spikes to 98°C and then fals to like 85°C, any game or something and it throttles to like 700MHz. I tried everything possible:
I run Windows and Ubuntu and the problem exsists in both of them
I lowered the Max CPU power in the Power options to like 60% still the same as in 100%
I did clean it from the outside as possible(still under warranty, but the service takes like 3 weeks where I live and I'm a student so I can't be 3 weeks without my laptop)
I was thinking of just fu*k it and just replace the thermal paste but it is blowing hot air out so I assume that is conducting heat,
Googled everything on this CPU, the Voltages are in range, nothing wrong besides the high temp.
I dont think adding a cooler would do much since the laptop is elevated from the desk(I don't use it on my bed or something like that) so it does have easy access to air.
I see other people with the same spec laptop having a good gaming experience but my just heats up and slows down.
So any ideas would be apreciated.
Thanks
