Hello!
my laptop is overheating while using turbo boost so i disabled it with throttlestop
is that safe?
my performance also dropped but i think thats normal
is there a way to use turbo boost and not overheat?
(i got a msi gf63 12ve thin)

#

i have had this laptop for like 9 months and i dont think it should overheat that much yk

#

Feel free to ping me

on roblox max settings i got to max 98C

#

with turbo boost on(the intel cpu one)

#

it was averaging 85 to 98 max

# restive cipher device getting really hot, throttle stop and msi center

This might not end up being necessary, but I would be curious to see how the clock speeds either decrease or stay steady over time.

Have you opened up the back to remove any dust build up on the fans and inside the heat sink?

If you end up having to remove the cooler from the laptop to clean it properly then you will want to have extra thermal paste to repaste it (which also could potentially help).

Would you be willing to run a Time Spy benchmark with CPUID HWMonitor running, and video record the whole thing?

If you have HWMonitor open you will want to minimize all parts that aren’t CPU and GPU and expand the individual CPU core temps to look like the photos.

i cannot open my laptop at all

#

because of the factory seal

#

it will probably void my warranty

restive cipher
#

i can share screen you if needed

still sphinx
restive cipher
#

where can i install the app from?

still sphinx
# restive cipher it will probably void my warranty

I understand what you are saying but opening up your laptop shouldn’t void any warranty because most laptops have expandable storage and can have their RAM upgraded. I do not know what area you live in but maybe check with MSI support to see what your options are and see if they can give you something in writing if you are concerned about it.

# restive cipher where can i install the app from?

https://benchmarks.ul.com/3dmark

This is the best and industry standard for bench marking your PC!

3DMark provides a free at home install through Steam that many people miss and think they have to pay for.

Don't get me wrong!
Support the devs if you like the app but they provide a Free demo and everyone should at least try that out once on ...

alright

restive cipher
still sphinx
#

I am recommending it, since it gives a lot of info about your system by having access to basically every sensor your device has.

restive cipher
#

hw monitor does not owrk on my pc

still sphinx
restive cipher
#

No

#

When i click on the actual app

still sphinx
restive cipher
#

Like the update version or just windows 10

still sphinx
restive cipher
#

Alright

#

Still the same

#

@still sphinx

#

Also what should i use to record the time spy benchmark

still sphinx
#

Okay, let’s forget about that, weird that it won’t open but I don’t want to spend a bunch of time diagnosing that. You can uninstall HWMonitor.

still sphinx
restive cipher
#

Ok i pressed on the run button

still sphinx
#

You will end up wanting to post the score and the detailed results like that.

restive cipher
#

Okk

#

@still sphinx

still sphinx
#

It says it was cancelled, did you stop the run?

restive cipher
#

totally not

#

i didnt even touch the pc

#

while that was happening

#

should i redo it

#

?

still sphinx
#

Yes, there should be multiple different parts of the test, like there it was Graphics Test 1.

restive cipher
#

alright i will redo

still sphinx
restive cipher
still sphinx
#

Much better, see all those sections at the bottom showing different parts of the test.

restive cipher
#

idk why it did with intel R

#

tbh

#

did it use my i5 12450h?

#

i hope it did

still sphinx
# restive cipher so now what?

What you want to look for is temperatures and the clock speeds for CPU and GPU. I think it is very weird that it is saying your CPU speed was perfectly consistent that entire time. Is your laptop plugged into power right now?

restive cipher
still sphinx
# restive cipher and what do i do with that temp and clock speeds

What I was looking for are drops in the speed if it was getting too hot. Sure, the temps are probably running at their max, but that is basically how laptops work. If a GPU is supposed to run at 1700 mhz and at 85c, then that is fine. The issues come when it is at 85c but the clocks either slowly or sharply drop.

#

That would mean the laptop cannot cool itself to run at its normal speeds, and to stop it from killing itself it slows down, but in a normally functioning system the slower the clocks the cooler the temps.

restive cipher
#

so basically u think its normal?

still sphinx
#

In your system I am not seeing any obvious issue. The GPU clock speeds were stable, and running at what I would presume to be their proper speeds.

restive cipher
#

or did i understand it wrong

restive cipher
#

max ofc

#

lemme try playing roblox WITHOUT throttlestop opened

still sphinx
restive cipher
#

oh sure

#

its automatically as an admin

#

💀

still sphinx
#

So, it didn't open again?

restive cipher
#

yep

still sphinx
#

Can you open task manager, or tell me what CPU is in your system?

restive cipher
#

bro what

#

i got 71C on max graphics

#

on roblox

#

what the fuck happend

#

i just closed all my other apps

#

what happend?

still sphinx
#

Makes sense if you had a lot of other things running. Each program is going to pull the resources of the system.

restive cipher
#

?

#

thats really weird

#

if u ask me

#

this is what i have open

#

i wasnt in a match here

#

just lobby

still sphinx
#

I wouldn't say it is that weird for a laptop. The surface area of the CPU and GPU are very small, and the size of the cooler is not that big either since it has to fit into the laptop.

restive cipher
#

but its 72C steady

#

rn

still sphinx
#

Even in the lobby the laptop has to work rendering the screen.

restive cipher
#

ok its rising rn

#

77C

#

75-77

#

its not even bad

#

for a thin laptop

#

and im at max graphics

#

im usually at 5-6

#

and like

#

my turbo boost is on

restive cipher
#

this is a major increase

#

its actually really good

#

but

#

what happend?

#

why did this suddenly happen

#

whats the difference besides some apps closed

still sphinx
#

Good, maybe one of those programs like that throttle one was just making your system work too hard. I had never heard of it before.

#

You make it sound like closing the apps wasn't a big deal. You can get massive swings on performance scores with benchmarks if you open and close other apps because they drain resources.

#

Do you have an FPS counter open while playing games to see if those are affected?

restive cipher

#

Okay, so best advice for now is do not have a lot of apps running, uninstall programs you are not using (this would not include the HWMonitor that I asked you to install since it isn't working), and enjoy.

#

Malwarebytes could have really made your CPU work if it was doing some sort of scan while you were looking at temps.

restive cipher
#

Do u think buying this will help?

still sphinx
#

My recommendation is continue to play/test and keep programs closed that you are not using.

You know how to disable apps from starting up when the PC is turned on?

restive cipher
#

i have been playing on pc since i was 3

#

i should know how to do that properly

#

lol

#

should i keep msi center on like

#

startup

#

?

still sphinx
#

Do you need MSI Center to control your fan profile?

restive cipher
#

i am not sure about that

#

should i test it

#

?

#

i use extreme mode on it, it makes my fan be used at the max output

#

these are the settings for extreme mode

#

imma restart my pc and check

#

with it disabled

still sphinx
#

Maybe look at temps if you have MSI Center closed. It would be biased since people complain when there is an issue, but I have only seen issues with MSI Center.

#

Plus, it would be one less program pulling resources of the laptop.

restive cipher
#

Yeah i need it opened

still sphinx
restive cipher
#

It just takes a bit to use extreme mode

still sphinx
# restive cipher Yeah i need it opened

Okay, well if you are not having issues with it, then it shouldn't cause any issues. Advice is saying the same, close stuff you don't need, and make it so it won't start up in the background. One being malwarebytes since you are not even under services.

restive cipher
#

i never thought it would because of processes

#

thats really crazy

#

thank you so much

#

if you wouldnt have told me to close all processes, i would have been still wondering whats wrong
