Hello guys, so I recently got this very cheap Asus laptop as a replacement for my old broken one until I get a new laptop, it has a celeron n4500 which supposedly runs at 2.8ghz as a max clock speed, I play simple games on it like cs 1.6 and geometry dash but the problem is when I play for just a short amount of time the clock speed of the CPU quickly drops to 1ghz and even below, I dont care about the safety of the CPU at this point I just want to completely get rid of this thermal throttling, I tried some registry and gpedit workarounds but none of them worked

Do you know that it’s throttling?

#

I’m pretty sure 2.8GHz is the burst frequency. It can hit that for a short time before slowing down, by design from Intel

split edge Do you know that it’s throttling?

yes

#

i downloaded throttlestop and i noticed that when the temps reach around 70 degrees the clock speed drops slowly until it hits 1.1ghz which is the base frequency

You measured temps and it was throttling?

#

Wouldn’t throttle at 70 unless some bios limit was in place

asus's bios is so useless anyways

#

it barely has any useful settings

#

it happend to a relative of mine on a dell laptop which has a 7th gen i5 and i fixed it by uninstalling intel dynamic tuning utility (not sure if thats the correct name) from device manager
