I'd say everything looks good so far, tho I also always recommend using RTSS for gaming. Yeah, modern hardware is smart and won't let you burn it, and if it for some reason goes too hot - it will just shut down your laptop at once to save it. Fortunately, I doubt you'll come across the game that will use all 12 threads to their maximum, at least I haven't seen anything like that so far, so nothing to worry about. 84 actually does sound like thermal throttling for Intel, but to be sure you've to check the CPU frequency. this may have been evidence of thermal throttling, idk.īut it looks like the laptop will at least try to save it self from burning itself up 12 threads to be precise. using the cpu burner feature, i tried setting it to use all 12 cores, and the temp spiked, just briefly at 84c then backed off to 74c. I also took the opportunity to install something called msi lombustor. You can gain quite some performance there, without incurring anywhere near the power consumption and heat penalties as with the CPUs.Originally posted by Chris Solomon:i did as you suggested, and the gpu temp maxed out at 56c. Optimizing the RAM is where most people are concentrating on nowadays, and rightfully so. I would leave the CPU as is, and concentrate on the RAM. And in the end, all that for a lowly single-digit performance plus, if that. For any higher models, it's a waste of time, you cannot be better than the automatic turbo boost modes without accepting a huge increase in power consumption and problems keeping these very dense chips cool enough. Even manually overclocking doesn't lead to much with these newest CPU models, except for some CPU models low in the range perhaps.

The cost-benefit ratio from an energy efficiency standpoint is just very bad in the end. There is not much more to get out of them without incurring serious other penalties. The latest Ryzen 3000 CPUs as well as the latest Intel 10000 CPUs are pretty much working at their natural limit already, due to the intelligent Turbo Boost functions and power saving functions. It will apply too much voltage everywhere (because they needed to make it work with all types of CPUs of varying quality), making power consumption and heat production skyrocket, without actually doing much for performance.

The automatic overclocking function for the CPU does more harm than good.

I can only warn about them in the strongest possible way.
