Surface Pro 3 throttling

i think the comparison it's very redundant information

Thanks but I have already seen it and makes sense.

There where two updates that came across just yesterday that since installing them, a particular game I was playing that did cause the fan to kick in seems to have corrected that and the fan remains normal during the game play.  Don't know if it is a fluke but still doing some tests on that.

My machine is an i3 and does not have the throttle issue but I do have the desktop versions of the i5 and i7 (which do).

However, I am running Linux on both of those and the fans kick in more often than they should.

I think the core issue is based on Intel's video drivers for which I think there is a forthcoming fix.

We will have to wait and see.

The throttling issue should not happen but if you use the tablet in a normal fashion (web browsing, email, regular programs), it should not really be an issue there.  Just graphics intensive software (to include Adobe Acrobat Reader).  I think a limit was set into the system to keep that factor down which is what everybody is calling "throttling".  It is to keep the tablet from overheating.

That prevents the batteries from expanding to include the motherboard which in turn applies pressure to the back end of the screen and destroy the tablet.

So, if the throttling on the i5 and i7 models is a real case, probably be glad it is set that way until a fix comes across.  At around $2,000 plus, I think the cost justifies at least a little patience to play your high end games.

Surface pro 3 it's the worse option for playing for the hard throttilng, you can watch this video sp2 with i5 vs sp3 i7.

And here you can watch how change if you put a external USB fan for cooling hiere

Please read through the forum. It is up to 11 pages now and using a usb fan has been discussed over the last few pages. Your post only contains redundant information.

I respect your opinion, but I disagree. I am very happy with my i7 SP3 and after two months with it I don't see any computer out there that is better for my needs. Sure, it would be great if it didn't throttle like my old SP2, but is there a competitor to the SP3 with its dimensions and power that doesn't? No, because there isn't a direct competitor at all. I have not once seen my SP3 throttle outside of video gaming no matter how hard I push it, and I've been running a CPU frequency monitoring application constantly since I bought it August first. Don't buy a device for what you think it should do, buy it for what it can do. I admit that my video game playing consists of the occasional starcraft 2 match with everything else from my ps4 or ps vita, so I never NEEDED my surface to play games. Not only that, but if I choose I can pack a tiny fan in my bag and have no problem playing any AA game. What I'm trying to say is if playing video games is something you expect to do on your laptop daily, then you're right, the SP3 isn't for you. You're probably much better off buying something with a dedicated nvidia card in it for that price, I wouldn't even settle for Intel iris. However, if you want a Surface then by all means buy a Surface. I have a hard time recommending the i7 SP3 because of its cost and limitations, but I have no problem telling people how much I love mine and why, followed by recommending the i3 version. Your money is yours to spend, but don't ask others to boycott the product because it doesn't do something you think it should; just give them accurate information of its strengths and weaknesses so they can make the best choice for themselves.
