So i bought a lenovo y50-70 about 2 years ago and i use it 90% of the time to play csgo.
I connect the laptop to an external monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Specs:
i7 4710hq
Gtx 860m 4gb
4gb RAM
W10
I play on 1024x768/75hz all low settings
My problem is the laptop runs csgo at a steady 150 fps, and suddenly drops to 50-60, i know this sounds pitty and shit but it drives me nuts and i literally stopped playing because of it.
I thought inicially the problem was thermal throtlling so i cleaned the fans, the air exits and intakes and reapplied thermal paste. I refreshed the OS to a clean install only with csgo installed and used Throttlestop to see if it would do anything, and the problem stays the same. I stress tested the gpu at 1024x768 and there was no fps drops and the temps stayed low at 70ºC, so i guess that singles out the GPU.
Since reapplying thermal paste the cpu and pc shell run much cooler than before but the problem still persists (when i first bought the laptop there were no drops).
Wich makes me come here for help, i dont know what else to try.
i'm willing to try anything that doesn't put the laptop health in risk.
I only use this machine for csgo so its a huge hassle for me.
Thanks in advance
