    Does anyone else with similar specs to me have an issue with sudden random framerate drops to 5-10fps for 2-5 seconds while gaming then picks back up again.
    I'm aware the M15x has this problem but it appears my M17x does too.

    I've tried throttlestop and this stops it. But I'm curious to see if others have the issue too?
