    I'm using A07 and I'm been using Rivertuner for both my CPU+GPU throttling issues, can anyone provide the link for me please?

    I've been searching all over the forums and google and no luck

    Just upgrade to BIOS A08 or higher and you're fine... I don't see any reason for staying on A07.

    Anyway, Rivatuner is outdated, there's better OC software around.

    What about my throttling issue?

    A09 will fix my throttling on my CPU right?

    What about my GPU throttling?

    Both Throttling issues got fixed with A08 afaik.

    And by the way, you have a 920xm... do you know about Throttlestop (for overclocking?)

    Not familiar with throttlestop, as long as A09 which I have now keeps my CPU+GPU running normal speeds, with no thorttling issues then that's all I need :D

    Thanks for your input though sv17

    You're welcome.

    If you happen to need some raw CPU power for encoding or CPU intense games I recommend checking out Throttlestop. I'm sure you've already read some stuff about it since you're not new here. 3.2 GHz across all cores is no problem with your CPU (max standard across 4 cores is only about 2.2 GHz).
