Hey Guys,
I really need some help
I have a Alienware 15 R3 (2017) with an i7 7700HQ and a GTX 1070
For the past month or 2 I've been facing some problems with it.
I had previously undervolted it using Intel XTU, but even then I was having heating problems.
In the winter months, it wasn't as bad due to lower ambient temperatures but now in the summer it does tend to heat up more.
I bought an axial cooler, as well as a vacuum cooler to help with it, and while that helped, I realized that there are other problems which might not be related to heating.
Whenever I plug my laptop in for charging, it heats up more than normal (reaching up to 93° C) and while playing games I face a lot of freezing and stuttering issues.
As soon as I unplug it, the problems are solved.
While charging, XTU also indicates "Power Limit Throttling", which it doesn't as soon as I unplug it.
Does anyone have any idea as to what might be the issue?
