G501JW - GPU throttle at 74 degree celsius

Hi everyone.
I've been using G501JW for two months.
There's a problem with modern and some old games.
about 5 minutes after the start of the game (e.g. GTA 5) at medium
settings (optimal according to nvidia experience) the temperature of the
graphics card rises to 74-78 degrees, while the GPU core frequency falls from
1029 MHz to 405 and the number of FPS drops by about a half.
Drivers are updated regularly. The current version of the graphics driver is 353.30 WHQL.
BIOS is also the newest of today (BIOS 206).
I bought a cooling pad with a good blowing, but it almost did not affect the
situation, since the bottom of the laptop has no cooling holes. The growth is only ~ 2
FPS.
The problem is the same as in this thread, but with the model G551JW: link .
the technical support doesn't send me a new BIOS but advises to take the laptop to an authorized service center.
do all the owners of this model have the same situation or just me?

I've been recently working on a public release of a G551JW vBios with guides for installation. Next one will be G501JW

Hello.
I installed a modified BIOS based on the 211 version, made by another person.
I would like to compare it with your modification.
As I understand it, you did a revision based on the 209 version of the BIOS.
Can I modify my original BIOS 211 according to your instruction http://voltground.com/haven/threads/3/#post-29 ?

Did everything according to the instructions. Just the temperature of throttling is available for changes. The frequency and voltage of the GPU are not available.

That's rather odd, what vBios did you use?
