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?

Saved BIOS from voltground for ASUS ROG G501JW. But their site is closed now.

But you must understand that without NoteBook FanKontrol modify the BIOS does not make sense. GPU will be heated up to 100 degrees and throttling will remain on or off / reboot the laptop.

Put a profile in a folder "Configs".

Do as the picture below to fans working at 5000 RPM

thanks Kaps, thanks to your fancontrol configuration, temperature decreased by 15°. It is awesome, a bit loud though :cool:
