    The main NBR discussion is in this thread, but various BIOS updates have progressively reduced the problem with the latest BIOS (A19) the latest improvement as noted here.

    You can easily see if throttling is occurring - the CPU speed reduces. RMClock will show CPU speed and throttling.

    However, it is very unlikely that you will experience throttling with the Intel GPU onboard. I think I saw it once, about 6 months ago. You can use RMClock to disable the throttling, should it occur.
