This is a base value, the exceeding of which would indicate a malfunction of the cooling system. Please be advised that the integrated circuit manufacturer (Intel) presents in its specification the maximum permitted operating temperature, which is 100 degrees Celsius. Asus stated that:Īccording to the knowledge possessed by Asus Polska, Thermal Throttling is a standard mechanism protecting against overheating, implemented in the Intel manufacturer's systems, causing a reduction in the 'frequency of device operation', its power, which directly affects the operating temperature of the device.ĭue to the different operating conditions of devices, Thermal Throttling should be considered as a processor feature, enabling the system (device) to work at the temperature level allowed by the manufacturer, therefore Thermal Throttling can not be considered as a defect, but as thermal protection. Today my lawyer got a reply from ASUS Polska. No one should ever purchase anything that doesn't come with at least an unconditional 3-year warranty.

It lost an entire column of pixels only two days after their (crappy to start with) 1-year warranty ran out. Most of the OEMs (Dell is the absolute worst (pitiful products) and Acer is not much better) the and ODMs (MSI and Gigabyte are awful (but, IMHO, their products are absolute crap anyway) and Asus is not much better (they make better products but provide just as awful support)) don't give a what their customers think. Of course, if I apply my expectations absolutely, I might never purchase anything. In this day and age, customer orientation is out the window anyway. If you have to actually prove it, then there is something disturbingly wrong with their customer orientation (not to mention their customer support).

Again, all I can say is that, as far as I am concerned, if it ever throttles, then the cooling design is broken.
