Hey everyone and thanks for reading!
I've had a rmbp in over a year now, and since day 1 it has been a real troublemaker. It has been in apple service like 5 times for different reasons. But the realy big problem is the way it downclocks all the time. especially in bootcamp. Every time I start a game, like battlefield 4, it downclocks all the way down to 270mhz and stays there. Naturally the game runs very bad with a maximum fps of around 25. When I close the game the clock goes up again to 796mhz, and when it's running on 796mhz the temperature lies stable at 92 degress C. The fans are running at maximum speed. Also in mavericks i feel games like LOL are running quite poorly. At a resolution of 1400x900 and on medium graphics it peaks at around 50fps. I've tried reset SMC, reinstalled windows more times then i can count, tried what feels like a million different drivers and set the maximum processor state at 99%.
It's also worth noting that it has been on service 3 times earlier because of the downclocking problem which they said they fixed with a new heatsink. It fixed it a bit, but never really solved it. It's very hard to explain to apple what the problem is because it's only in bootcamp it is realy noticeable. And then they just say it's windows fault and there is nothing they can do. What I think the problem is, is the way my mac handles the voltage. It can't deliver the voltage it needs to in bootcamp since the power management in windows is inferior to os x.
Thanks again for help!
