Try it for various games, you'll like it. This will ensure your hardware never runs too hot, and the way RTSS does the frame limiting it will also reduce the stuttering and input latency in pretty much every single game out there. Now idk if you've got 120Hz or 60Hz screen, but the idea remains - you're not going to see more frames than your screen is capable to show, so it's best to limit the framerate to your refresh rate or half of it if the game's really demanding one. It comes together with MSI Afterburner and is able to do a nice CPU-level frame limiting. 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. Should I just tolerate the 95c CPU (I'm also a pretty light gamer anyway, like 1-2 hours a day) and risk long-term longevity of the hardware? Or keep turbo off indefinitely so my parts don't cook but have to play at reduced FPS/performance? Well, at least I finally know that turbo mode for the CPU is the main factor in my case for temperatures.Originally posted by Chris Solomon:i did as you suggested, and the gpu temp maxed out at 56c. What's interesting is that lowering graphics settings for me hardly lowers CPU temps at all. Some games it's fine I notice only a 5-10 FPS drop and it's still playable, but for others it's a 15-20 FPS drop. using the UE4 engine) at highest settings anymore while turbo is off. The only problem is that I can no longer feasibly play games (e.g. I also changed my power settings to from Balanced to Ultimate, which seems to enhance performance slightly as well. Then, I turned on Speed Shift - EPP and immediately noticed a +8-10 FPS jump without any temperature increase (so far) even after 30+ mins so I'm definitely keeping this on while keeping turbo off. I dropped offset voltage by 100.6 mV, maybe I'm not doing it right but for me it made no temperature or performance difference, so I just resetted it back to default voltage. Some observations:Īs soon as I check Disable Turbo on ThrottleStop (without touching any other settings), my CPU temperature drops drastically to 70-75c from 95c even while gaming for 30+ mins at highest settings. The thermal throttling was getting too much for me lately (going up to 95c avg on the CPU while GPU is okay running in the 70c range), so I got ThrottleStop installed and set up.
