The only thing I can't do with this laptop is undervolt the GPU unfortunately, it's completely locked in Afterburner but Aorus does allow a preset overclock of the GPU which is pretty cool.

I only run the computer full tilt when I am playing something like RDR2, Assassin's Creed, etc. I even do it with some non demanding steam games. I like my emulation gaming and for the older systems it's also not necessary to have turbo enabled whatsoever, so I disable it and keep the computer cool and basically silent. The reason I sometimes disable turbo is if I am not gaming, I don't see any point in the cpu being at 4.3ghz and running hotter and louder for watching netflix or YouTube (for example). That said I can't see any danger in launching it and touching nothing but the turbo button. I want to change some of my cpu settings in intel extreme utility but keep failing, so I want to know if there are anyway to change it. So that's my suggestion with a disclaimer that I have zero responsibility if you do anything to your computer with TS. Of course I am not going to muck about with anything else in throttlestop since all my undervolting has been perfectly done in XTU. People say not to use them together but as long as I use TS only for this, I haven't seen any issue whatsoever. in other words all cores stay precisely at 4.30ghz or 2.60ghz when these two options are disabled in throttlestop. I can also disable c1e and speedstep via throttlestop which completely eliminates the mild 2.58-2.6ghz frequency fluctuation, or without turbo disabled, the 4.24 to 4.3 fluctuation. I launch Throttlestop second and just hit the disable turbo button and it all works.

So, believe it or not I just combine throttlestop with XTU. Sadly, I just couldn't fix the fan noise issue so had to swap it, and as I predicted, the new replacement, whilst now without 'faults', temps are quite a bit higher although I can still undervolt it to around -0.140.įor some reason disabling turbo is also greyed out in XTU. It didn't change whilst combining unigen valley at ultra settings with a cpu benchmark. Just with a 2 year old factory paste LOL and benchmarked for 2 hours. With an undervolt at -0.155, and all cores maxed out a 100% with an overclock of 4.3ghz on all cores via the aorus utility (it sets the multiplier of all cores to 43 but you can do it in XTU also), temps never went over high 70's. but I was so loath to return it as I had a golden bin. the fan sounded like a roadside or dentist's drill, there was something misaligned, so I exchanged it for the last one in the country. faster than my MacBook I had paid a lot more for, and obliterates it in gaming.

I added an extra NVME 970 Evo 1TB in the free nvme slot. as well as full GTX 1070 and G Sync screen. Paid the equivalent of 1200 USD for it with 32Gb ram upgrade, Intel 8850H 6 core, 512SSD and 7200RPM 1TB.

I have an Aorus X5 V8 that I got at a steal a couple weeks back as it's an old model.
