hi everyone, im noticing small amount of battery drain while plugged in and gaming. I replaced the original 180w charger brick with a 230w and still drains. now with the original charger I was having major issues like when gaming the laptop was freezing in game and booting me back to the desktop and in some cases freezing then blue screen. anyways after I replaced the charger that seemed to stop, but the battery draining while gaming still seems to happen. my laptop is a strix scar 2 i7 8750h cpu 16gb of dual channel ram 2666 MHz, and a gtx 1060 6gb video card and a 17" screen. thanks everyone.80307

Not really. Minimum it ever went was 94%. It doesn't matter if gaming or not. Sometimes it does that when browsing the web or just idling.

thanks for the info. I don't think its a big deal its not like im gaming for 10 hours straight lol. I really like the laptop. it performs well. I already replaced the 180w power brick for a 230w brick that seemed to stop the in game freezing and blue screen problems.
