    I'm having a problem with my brand new SXPS 16. When I'm gaming with it it throttles and starts lagging awfully. I guess this it is the GPU downclocking becuase of overheating, but im not sure.

    I dont really have any monitoring software for my gpu so cant really check the core temp there, but my core temp on both cpu cores doesnt go over 50 degrees.

    Two questions, where can i find a decent monitoring program and how the hell do i solve this problem in the first place?

    thanks

    1) Apply AS5 to your GPU and CPU

    2) Use a laptop cooler or prop up the rear of the laptop whilst gaming

    3) Undervolt your CPU

    4) Upgrade your GPU drivers
