G73 - Throttling Fix while on Battery?

Hey everyone,

I will preface this post with an apology as I'm sure this topic has been beaten like a red-headed stepchild.

I have been away from the forum for quite some time now partly due to my new toy (CBR). Anyways, my G73 has never seen a battery and I have had it since the first week they were produced. I will be cycling my hopefully non-dead (never charged from the packaging) battery that resides in my fridge. I am taking the G73 on a plane very soon and I was wondering if there ever was a fix (Im hoping not major like a BIOS or anything bc my rig runs flawless with stock BIOS and drivers) to the THROTTLING down when on battery power. I read about Throttle stop but left the forum when it was in its testing phase. Have any fixes come up that delete this throttlingdown and keep the parameters at 100% or however the user configures them? Thanks!

Also, when I am cycling this new battery, and when I'm finished, will the throttling go back to normal when I plug it back into the wall? What I mean is, with stock everything, after battery use, does the CPU/GPU system go to back to normal? Thanks!

 

Actually, while Throttlestop is a great product, you can update to BIOS v209 and that will take care of this issue.

I've updated it and haven't seen it occur since.

 

Just so I know, im a newb, whats throttling? How can you tell you have it?

 

Im afraid to update the BIOS Never done one before. And my rig runs so well with stock BIOS/Drivers. I think I have BIOS 206. I remember reading about people losing their keyboard lights etc.. Can someone persuade me that its ok?

Also, with BIOS 209, does it delete the throttling 100%?

Daranik-Throttling is when, on battery power, your system (CPU/GPU/RAM) basically downclocks (right word?) itself and runs at lows specs to conserve power. It does this without your knowing and does it from the factory. The lower % you get on the battery power, the higher the performance hit.

 

It doesn't completely get rid of throttling, as that's a method of saving battery life/heat/energy when not needed. To me, that's a great feature that you don't want to get rid of. However, it does get rid of the issue of staying downclocked after plugging in AC power.

If you want to completely remove throttling, get Throttlestop. It does have it's uses and applications though, so in my opinion it's not a good idea to do that all the time.

 

Ok so its safe to say that I play crysis warhead on gamer at 30 fps thats not throttling, no stats drop and thats a constant like 30, would it be really noticable???
