Not yet. Played Crysis 2 in 1600x900 and Hardcore setting. However the temps are near 100 deg on the CPU. I am going to make omelette on my PC :)


Yea, I am running ubuntu 12.04 on my system. However i have not yet noticed such a problem, which utility are you using to measure temps in Ubuntu ??

If it happen please msg me and when you have bought your laptop ?
Any have you downloaded new driver for Gt650M which is released at 29 or 28 september ?

When you have bought your laptop ? which version of 550P ? S01IN and S02IN ?
Have you updated to new driver update which is released at 12 Sep ?

i bought s02in and had already updated drivers.......and throtling occurs only when charger is connected on battery it runs fine........i guess the problem may be with adapter they gave it might not be giving enough power

@ nick191
i have updated drivers and hv s01..
@alpha34
bro i tried another charger but same problem..i think our dc power connector on motherboard is bad(i read somewhere).....

yeah i visited service centre but after 2 dayz they told me everythin is ok.but when i played in front of engineer then there were no fps drops(may be coz i played for a little time).but now at home m havin the same problem again.
i suggest u to record a video of throttling and if they ask then show it..

good idea !:p

I think there is more than 8 user of S02IN,and only one of them tried GAMING ! and uploaded screenshot of temp(Thanks pratyush997) !

I am expecting more users...

If there is more than 8 users than please visit this link *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/laptops-n...ling-heating-issue-solved-np550p5c-s02in.html

hmmm ya.....and nothing like new lappy don't have those problems ....i took my lappy on 1st sep but looks like only gamers r able to identify this problem as it appears only when playing high end games....

i think the problem must be with adapter only as the battery theoretical power draw is 10.8 V, 7.8 A or 84W which is insufficient to run the CPU (45W) and the GPU (45W) plus the ancillary support circuits and the provided power adapter is 90W. The reason CPU throttling can work is that there are specific signals to dynamically control the CPU clocking . There is no such control for the Optimus GPU environment. Limiting the use of the eGPU allows for full TurboBoost mode for the CPU. So in theory by reducing the GPU clock we can stop thortling let me check this today

WOW that is some great thinking. I am wondering whether a 120 Watt adapter is offered by Samsung ? If so can this solve the problem ?? Moreover 45W is termed as TDP which is the heat dissipated (Wiki Article). So the processor input power should be more than this i guess. Anyways goodluck with your experiment and let us know.

ya processor input is more and it takes even more when in turbo mode and I didn't account the power intake by speakers,display and other stuff if added up then it will go beyond given adapter capability. 120W or 135W of dell adapters would be usefull as our adapters can't provide the required power to operate so it borrows some amount of power from battery and if you observe when you are playing games with adapter plugged in battery will not charge as it would in normal cases tht explains it draws power from AC outlet and also from battery.
