SnowyI played around with my power options before, but if you have any particular options of note that you think will help with overheating I'd be happy to try them.
Unfortunately mine's on HP recommended with my own customizations. I notice there's a Gaming Mode; is there any merit to that?
It's worth a shot, other than that if you cap your frame rate at around the lowest that it drops to it should help, and you can get used to it. When i had issues with my computer my frames would drop from like 130 to 60-75 and it would make my mouse feel like it was freezing up. I just capped it to 65 and it ran smooth enough to play.
