    I'm just wondering why the CPU throttle so much. Is it because of the lack of juice the power brick can output? Does the GXX series suffer from this as well?

    On which notebook, throttling can occur because of heat, because of failsafes that kick in when they shouldn't, because of lack of power or because the manufacturer implemented throttling to rpevent the laptop from frying due to using components with too high TDPs for the laptop or failing to design a half-decent cooling scheme.

    Some G series notebooks suffered from throttling because of BDPROCHOT if i recall correctly and that was due to Asus not setting something correctly in the bios rather than being by design, it was due to sloppy bios engineering. My G73JH suffers from no throttling what so ever.
