Hi Feluchi.
Can you confirm if you can mod the BIOS/VBIOS for the G771JW?
I am having the same problems as many others with the CPU/GPU throttling severely during gaming or stress testing. From looking at GPU-Z I can see that the 960m GPU starts out at around 1100Mhz and by the time it gets stable under full load it has throttled down to 600Mhz or less with spikes along the way down to 135Mhz!
I temporarily connected a large extraction fan to the exhaust vent on the laptop and got temps WELL down (under 70 C at full load) but it still throttles down to 600Mhz with the reason coming up as power limit instead of thermal limit in GPU-Z.
The laptop has a larger power supply (9.5A vs 6.32A original) and I plan to install a more permanent cooling system extraction fan to boost cooling performance.
So far I have seen several suggestions including undervolting the CPU, running throttlestop and BIOS modifications but can't quite wrap my head around if one or all of these things are required.
Any advise is much appreciated.
