The screen flashes and the throttling is gone until the next time you drop below 30%. The ONLY way to get it to go away is to have the battery above 30%, then unplug an re-plug in the power cord. The throttling will even remain through reboots. You can let it sit there and charge to 100% and be cold as ice sitting there idling, and the throttling is still there. If you hit 30% and see the throttling, you can stop gaming and let the laptop charge above 30% right there and the performance doesn't come back. Now here's the annoying part, and the thing that cost me a month. This does not happen on my Razer Core because it outputs way more power than the charging brick.Īs the laptop drains, it hits a hidden battery percentage threshold, 30% to be precise, and then the comp throttles the CPU/GPU and you lose a ton of performance. The charging brick cannot supply enough power to stay ahead of the max draw of the MX150. While you're gaming with the provided power brick, the laptop slowly loses 1% of battery at a time, little by little. Without explaining all the horrible troubleshooting steps I took and the back and forth of the same testing over and over, I will just tell you how it all works. Only long gaming sessions would trigger this horrible cycle again and I would give up at the end of the day as usual, knowing that the next morning things would be fixed. The next morning I would wake up and the thing was perfect again as if nothing happened. I would just shut it down, unplug it and bring the laptop home with me, giving up on it. I would try everything you can think of to get the frames back and could never get them to recover. I let it sit without gaming to let it "cool down" and 20 minutes or even an hour later I would wake the computer up from sleep and my frames were still gone. This happened when gaming while plugged into the supplied power brick only, never when docked at home to my Razer Core X Chroma. Symptoms: I would be gaming with the laptop and all of a sudden I would lose a third or more of my frames as if I was thermally throttled. It took me a month to get to the bottom of this and I worked on it everyday. There is a lot of info here so I will do my best to make it clear and not one long annoying paragraph.
