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.

Originally posted by Chris Solomon:i did as you suggested, and the gpu temp maxed out at 56c.
