    I am unable to play any intensive games due to my clock speed throttling.

    It happens at any temp level so, unless the monitors are wrong, it isnt a thermal issue. It doesn't feel as warm as it used to get either. I have a battery that keeps it off the table and a cooling pad with 3 fans too.

    Also, it appears to happen if I run a game with the intel graphics as well, but I dont know if that is pure unable to handle the load power wise or not.

    This wasn't a problem before. I just did a fresh re install of Windows 8, and tried a bunch of different drivers as i did that (though feel free to link me to a mystical beta driver that fixes this...)

    My best guess is undervoltage / it isnt reaching its peak power. Maybe it could be a disk read speed thing or something weird, i may have to play around with that idea.

    Also, windows power plan is set to High Perf.

    Any ideas would be great, mostly because I want to sell this and dont want to rip off some buyer who thinks it will handle games well.
