Hey guys, I'm new here! And I have a problem and have no idea where to ask it on the forum, so I guess why not here? I have a Lenovo Y510P. I've had it since ~November and only since January have I been able to play games using SLI. (it took me a while to figure out that the second card wasn't even blowing, lol). I see these people on YouTube playing Battlefield 3 and 4 on Ultra settings @>60FPS and I see no evidence of CPU throttling. I sometimes even see that they're playing on a single card! Every time that I so much as think about bumping up the quality from low (in SLI), my Y510P throttles so much that I rage quit due to the nearly unplayable <30FPS resulting from it. I am so confused because they're using the same computer. I just don't understand. Also, I'm running MSI Afterburner, cranking both cards up to +135 on the core clock, and, when I really want the performance, I bring the memory clock up to +321. (I usually leave the memory clock alone and only OC it when I'm video editing; otherwise, the core is underclocked to -135 and the memory is underclocked to -502 when I'm browsing the internet and whatnot). I am also running Intel XTU, bringing the CPU core clock multipliers to max (36x, 35x, 34x, 34x) and the Processor Cache Ratio to max (36x). So, the CPU and both GPU's are the only things OC'd. The RAM and everything else is at base clock. (Idk if I can even OC RAM). I get so frustrated trying to figure out why my computer, out of all of the other Y510P's, is the only one that doesn't perform as well as the rest of the herd. Do you have any idea what's going on here? If you have any ideas or explanations, please bring them down to the noobiest level you can, so that I'm not confused about anything. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. -Ryo P.S. this is my second post, so I'm still 8 posts away from being able to download.
