True, the i7-8750 isn't on the official XTU list. But it's widely used to undervolt that very processor just as I have in the past (and on my Aero in the first few months), no issues with the watchdog feature. I lost the watchdog feature after some routine upgrades (chipset drivers and routine...

Unfortunately I tried that a couple of weeks ago but the result was the same - I got the Watchdog warning message shown in the picture a few posts up. Gigabyte support insists that XTU doesn't support the i7-8750.

Thank you. I tend to use my Aero on the go and almost entirely on battery, so manipulating the blocks probably isn't something I'll use much (I've left it where it seems to default to, which is three orange blocks). But I played around with the blocks last night (can only access them when...

Thank you very much indeed for the reply. I've deinstalled XTU and Control Center, then re-installed Control Center. I can confirm I have the blocks (only when the machine is plugged in).

After being told by Gigabyte e-support that XTU is not supported on the Aero (even though it comes bundled in the GCC app) I asked them for clarification. I also asked them if I should de-install XTU or simply set it back to zero. This is the reply I got back complete with a graphic: "If you...

I did try Throttlestop. I set my XTU values back to zero then I uninstalled XTU, and installed Throttlestop. This worked OK, but from that point onwards I could no longer open Gigabyte Control Center. To see if TS was the culprit, I de-installed TS and reinstalled CC - and CC then opened fine...

I've now received a brief reply from Gigabyte support regarding the problem I started having with XTU's watchdog service after updating Control Center and re-installing XTU: "Please kindly note from the Intel XTU site, the utility is not valid for the laptop CPU. (You may refer the Intel's site...

Sorry for the delay, I had to find a third party hosting platform as it seems the forum setup doesn't allow for upload directly from my hard drive. Attached are both the XTU watchdog warning message and my new rather simplified BIOS interface (I have absolutely no idea how that has happened but...

I may be missing something very obvious but I can't find a way to upload the screenshots. Clicking the image icon in this message doesn't show any way to access my files.

Atom80, thank you very much for the prompt reply. I've already followed the steps suggested and uninstalled both XTU and control center, before rebooting and reinstalling control center. It made no difference, the watchdog is still absent. The undervolt I was applying was the same as I had set...

@Atom80 - thank you very much indeed for your reply, much appreciated. I've noticed another issue which may be related. My Aero runs BIOS FB08. Last time I looked in the bios a couple of weeks ago it appeared fully featured - lots of graphics and plenty of pages with various settings, power...

Hi everyone. I’d appreciate a perspective on a current issue – an internet search hasn’t proved useful so far. I have just now posed this question to Gigabyte support (3-7 day waiting time) but I’d like opinions from users as well. When I received my Aero 15-X9 a month ago (RTX2070, 32Gig RAM...

This is precisely why I chose the i5 8300H when I configured my recently acquired Lenovo X1E. It's not an rtx machine, but the same principles apply. I've read so many accounts of overheating, over active fans, and thermal throttling with the i7 8750H that when I ordered I couldn't face the...
