The Solution to Rog Strix G series laptops overheating issue (Over 90 degrees, heat stuttering)

[fraddle9]

I have G16 13650hx RTX4070.
Since the day I bought my laptop, the temperature of my processor was hovering around 90+ levels while playing games, and I was experiencing stutter (freezing every few seconds, sometimes even every second) problem in large-scale games. I formatted it, updated all the software, tried different software, had my laptop serviced and had the paste renewed, but I couldn't figure it out. Until yesterday.

The solution was as follows:

I can say that the stutter problem is 98% SOLVED after disabling CPU Boost from G-Helper.

After updating everything, I deleted Armory Crate and myAsus, installed G-Helper, opened a custom profile and increased the CPU fan speed a little more from 90 degrees, then disabled CPU Boost.

Yes, we are cutting the CPU potential a lot, I know, but at least I don't experience freezes every second anymore. While I experience freezes per second in Rust (in Potato settings), I can play the game at 75 fps (my monitor is 75hz) without freezing in Medium settings. I hope this solution helps those who suffer from this problem like me.

Another solution that worked for me.
I undervolted my CPU and GPU, Tweaked Ratios (P-31x, E-34x) from XTU(Intel Extreme Tuning Utility) and opened the cpu boost again. It is better now. You can tweak it until you are satisfied with the result. Its so sad that i can't use my laptop to its full potential ever. At least i don't see any stutter. But still constant 90 - 92 degrees on Bannerlord medium setting.

Can i ask what cpu you have as 13th and 14th gen cpu are having degradation issues including laptop cpu crashing etc ..over voltage on all cores , hight temps and vid voltage of up to 1.6 volts in my case on a 1380hx processor.

Good luck trying to get any help from asus ..they are just plain disgusting ..they will try anything to get out of truly fixing these faulty cpu

I have G16 13650hx RTX4070. And yes. The CPU itself or the laptops cooling system itself is problematic and the only thing service do was clear dust, apply paste. Cutting the potential of the laptop while trying to find a solution shows how bad the CPU or Cooling system is.

I undervolted my CPU and GPU, Tweaked Ratios and opened the cpu boost again. It is better now, but its because of i cutted the potential to %40. Its so sad that i can't use my laptop to its full potential ever. At least i don't see any stutter. But constant 90 - 92 fps on Bannerlord. My CPU using 0.85 to 0.95 volts in cinebench with this setup.

yes i undervolted my cpu in bios to the maximum the bios would allow..this made the laptop much more stable at idle and did somewhat help when under load but it still overvolts all cores when under load and i have huge ammounts of thermal throttling when underload..I have sent so much data to asus but they just ignore and wont even say if the cpu is running within spec ?

I also completely removed all asus software like armoury crate as this pushes the cpu beyond standard ..this als helped..but at the end of the day i believe my cpu has degraded and replacing it  with another 13th gen cpu is not a fix as far as im concerned as the new chip is highly likely to degrade with time as well.

When your pc is under load, It will activate CPU BOOST. That's why its still a problem when under load. It tries to boost frequency and gets so hot quickly. You can manage this by downloading XTU(Intel Extreme Tuning Utility). It will look like this;
As you can see, You can undervolt, also manage boost multipliers. Normally, it was 45x and 40x i guess. I reduced it to p->30x and e->32x (p stands for performance, which is the best cores for high loads, and e stands for efficient, and i don't know whats their purpose).

Play around with multipliers until you are satisfied. Don't test it with cinebench or something. Play the games you normally would. 

Another solution is simply turning CPU BOOST off from G-Helper. It is similar to setting boost multipliers to 26x (or 27 or 28) i guess but not sure. At least it won't rush to get high frequency. so it won't load voltage to your cpu.

Also you can Undervolt your graphics card to reduce the heat around the CPU. This worked for me slightly too. Hope you can get a satisfied result with these. 

I agree that 13.th gen cpu's have problems and it will degrade quickly cuz of these problems. Buying a new one won't help too. We deserve better. We trusted, but they failed us.

Hi Fraddle9..yes im aware that you can nurf the cpu to run cooler by lowering the performance..but we should not have to do this 🙂 ..when you buy a cpu it should run at the specifications they state without input from users and lets face it most people no nothing about overclocking or undervolting etc,,these 13th and 14th gen cpu are failing because of some kind of degradation that intel have not been fully forthcomming about..How many people are having problems unaware that these cpu are faulty ? and compaies like asus have made the situation worse because they try and push the cpu past its limits making these cpu fail quicker..im not saying asus is to blame for the degradation issues but their total lack of support is astonishing..anyone thinking of purchasing from asus should look elswhere unless you are ok with getting zero support...these companies should not be supported if they care so little about their customers
