    hey,

    so i've sent my computer for repair because it doesnt shutdown properly. it turns out the something is wrong with the board and they have to replace it. the service center is going to order a new board from acer. do you think with the replacement of the new board the throttling problems on 6920g will disapppear?

    Regards

    Entirely possible - one of the theories I had floated about why the throttling was being caused in the first place was a malfeasant board design or a wayward thermal sensor.

    Hopefully, you got it right. XD
    After all, I did agree with Tehsuigi's prediction.
    Actually, they should collect all those AS6920G and similar models back to repair in the very 1st place. However, it's too late now, am I correct?
