UPDATE: I searched everywhere for those small, portable A/C units but everywhere I asked they said that they're not that good and that it's better if I get a regular A/C unit and so I did. I installed it, set the temp to 23 C - 25 C, let the room cool down for a bit and launched a game in order to test the temperature of the CPU.
The results are that the CPU doesn't throttle but (as labeled by HWINFO 64) Core #0 still has a quite high temperature of 78-83 C, Core #1 is a bit lower at 75-80 C and Cores #2 and #3 are fine at 75 C and 70 C respectively. The CPU Package has a temp equal to the temp of Core #0 at all given times. Idle temps are around 40-45 C. The GPU is fine at a max temp of 75 C
Does this sound normal to you? In winter (ambient temperature of around 18 C - 21 C) my CPU used to max out at 75 C. I know that 18 C and 25 C are quite some way off from each other but can that difference really push my CPU out of the 70s C and into the 80s C?
As far as BIOS 303 goes, I haven't had any problems yet. I just have a feeling that the CPU fan could go louder than its current state.
UPDATE 2: I had left Hwinfo64 running in the background and I saw that it actually throttled. It shouldn't have throttled for long since I noticed no difference while playing but when I exited the game and checked out Hwinfo I saw that under the "Maximum" tab it said "Core #0 Thermal Throttling: Yes" and "Package/Ring Thermal Throttling: Yes"
Here's a list of all temperature values under the "Maximum" tab;
-Core #0: 87 C
-Core #1: 86 C
-Core #2: 82 C
-Core #3: 77 C
This happened at an ambience temperature of 25 C.
What are your thoughts on this?
Honestly, I don't know what's to blame here.
I really don't want to sacrifice performance and undervolt, so how about I set up a custom fan profile?
I've heard that ASUS prefers noise reduction over coolness thus their fan profiles don't take full advantage of the fans' capabilities.
I'll need guidance though. If you could recommend the best program for custom fan profiles and help me set the right values for the right temperatures I'd highly appreciate it.
