Hello everybody!

I've already posted a topic about overheating problem with my laptop when gaming on AMD graphic card but not on Intel HD - which comes with Kabylake proccesor itself. And now I've come to this:

 

When I disable AMD R5 M430 from device manager, the solution I've found out to prevent my NB from overheating, the fan(s) will work at medium speed all time even when there is no usage in resources. And, as soon as I re-enable it the fan(s) will slow down and become silent!

Disabling AMD card is a kind of necessary duo to a problem I have when playing games like Dota 2. The laptop will overheat and auto shutdown when the game is running on AMD R5 M430, but, won't heat if the game is running on Intel HD Graphics 620 (the kabylake 7200 built in graphic). I have already tried any software/setting solution I could but the prob exict -some solutions make it happens later. I think that is a problem with AMD mobile graphics, api, and the game code itself.

Now, anyone could help me with this? This is really annoying to enable/disable dedicated graphic each time or to come along with fan(s) working at medium speed all time! I do play games with my NB but I also read/writh academic contents regularly and need to be in total silent enviroment.

 

P.S. Please accept my apology if you had any problem understanding what I've try to say! My english is bad, I'm working on it.

Thank you!

I find the right way to disable AMD for a specific game instead of disabling it from device manager!

We can do this easly through Radeon Catalyst Control Center (which I didn't have) or Radeon Additional Settings in Radeon Settings (the one i got) Preferences. This has stopped my laptop from overheating and auto shut down by running the game always on GPU 0 whether plugged to wall or on battery.

Previouslly it would use GPU 0 and GPU 1 when plugged in and when on battery, but GPU 1 usage would rise when plugged in. I've already tried changing power plan settings to perevent this but it ain't worked. So I decided to disable GPU 1 compelety. But disabling it from device manager would make the fans to work on medium speed at all time.

Now the problems are gone but the questions not! Why do the manufacterer place a graphic card like AMD R5 M430 in a laptop that already has a KabyLake 7200 proccesor which got an Intel HD Graphics 620 (same/if not better as M430) with itself while the laptop design won't allow the dedicated graphic to efficially cool itself down??!!!! Only 2GB dedicated graphic memory?!! On a laptop with 8GB installed memory?

But the main question is why to design a laptop which cannot cool down itself properly, in respect to AMD R5 M430? Or is this just a problem with my laptop itself, like dusted air vents or fans?

 

P.S. I'm still working on my english!
