    Hello.
    Im having some problems with my zepto 6324w. The problem is that the cpu throttles down. By lowering the cpy voltage i managed to be able to play CoD4 for about 30minutes before the throttling kicks in. Is there any way to completely disable any throttling. Ive tried rightmark cpu clock but i don´t really know what to do with it. I have it on maximun and ive lowered voltage theire. I use that profile for windows power settings to. The issue seems to be that it throttles when it gets around 77/78c. How do i stop this? And i have disable some throttling option in BIOS.

    Thank you.

    In the latest BIOS. You can adjust the "Passive cooling trip point" to a higher value and see if that helps. I have mine set on 87C and never see any problems, it doesn't reach 87C, but it did go above the default temp of 79C.
    It's under the ACPI Control Sub Menu if you need a point in the right direction.

    In the BIOS-version I use (don't know which one) you could disable the socalled DTS Calibration... Maybe you could give that a try... G'luck!

    Considering the fact you're experiencing these thermal problems WITH an undervolted processor, something is severely wrong. Either send it in for repairs or open up the computer and redo the cooing paste on the processor. The paste was too thickly applied on mine and doing it lowered my temps by 7c, but still as your temps are at the throttling breaking point (like 100c?), I wager that something else is wrong. Perhaps the cooler isn't evenly snapped on or whatever.


    You should send it in for repairs if you're not confident in opening up the laptop - If you're in any of the nordic countries you'll do well to wait a while before sending it as the service center in Denmark is backed up and got a 3 week long waiting time.

    See this thread about removing the keyboard and cleaning the cooling system.
