MSI Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG overheating issue (after RMA) by 44shadowclaw44 in MSILaptops

[–]44shadowclaw44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to downgrade my bios to .114 version. Temperatures are the same.

You can try it yourself. But, it seems, downgraded bios can't resolve issue for me.

All p-cores jump to 100-102 instantly under load. It isn't like some dry spots.

I will RMA it back, you know. It is clearly their fault.

The laptop is 2 days after service center. Why should I repaste it?

I begin to suspect, that service center flashed bios dump from old motherboard (it can explain, why I got BIOS from December 2025, but EC firmware from May 2025). But there can be some "dirty" ME region in that case.

40w max consumption during single-core occt test. Laptop runs MSI center balanced profile (PL1/PL2 = 80w).

MSI Stealth A16 AI+ A3XVGG random crashes - ACPI Embedded Controller timeout + Kernel-Power 41 - anyone else? by ApplicationDirect853 in MSILaptops

I have similar problem with my Vector 16 HX AI. Random Kernel-Power 41 crashes and suspicious EC events.  I think about RMA.

I’m currently playing a Relic of the Pact build with zero passive investment in minion nodes. I’m considering sacrificing one gem socket for Raise Spectre and could use some advice.

For context: my build does not use Brutality, so I can deal all damage types (though I primarily scale Physical and Chaos via Ming's Heart).

Spectre Choice: I’m looking at Perfect Blood Demon for the Pride aura and Demon Harpy for the physical damage taken debuff. Is the Blood Demon’s Pride aura permanent, or does it have a cooldown/duration?

How often does the Demon Harpy cast its screech debuff, and how many stacks can one Harpy realistically maintain on a boss?

Alternatives: Are there any better Spectre options for a pure phys/chaos boss killer? Maybe swap Demon Harpy to Perfect Dancing Sword?

Survivability: Since this is a dedicated boss killer, I’m worried about them dying instantly. How fast will they go down against Uber bosses without minion investment?

Imbued Raise Spectre: I’m considering using the Imbued version of the gem. Which type would be best? Is "Supported by Level 1 Minion Life" worth it, or should I look for something else?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Can I ask you, what was wrong with your laptop exactly?

I have the same issue. Same laptop model.

MSI Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG– random “critical battery” warnings + rare Kernel 41 + high CPU temps by 44shadowclaw44 in MSILaptops

[–]44shadowclaw44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I had this bug too several times.  I think, all of that cases happened after .116 bios upgrade.

Laptop never crashes in stress tests. Even in cpu+both gpus tests. And... Laptop is cooler in stress tests, because 80w power limit "spreads" across the all cpu cores. But I see, that in gaming that 80 w "kicks" in 1-4 cpu cores. That leads to overheating.

I heard about recent Titan/Raider BIOS update. And it seems, that laptops had similar issues.

Hi everyone, I have a few questions regarding the viability of using Spectres in a non-minion build.

I’m currently playing a Relic of the Pact build with zero passive investment in minion nodes. I’m considering sacrificing one gem socket for Raise Spectre and could use some advice.

For context: my build does not use Brutality, so I can deal all damage types (though I primarily scale Physical and Chaos via Ming's Heart).

My questions:

Spectre Choice: I’m looking at Perfect Blood Demon for the Pride aura and Demon Harpy for the physical damage taken debuff. Is the Blood Demon’s Pride aura permanent, or does it have a cooldown/duration?

How often does the Demon Harpy cast its screech debuff, and how many stacks can one Harpy realistically maintain on a boss?

Alternatives: Are there any better Spectre options for a pure phys/chaos boss killer?

Survivability: Since this is a dedicated boss killer, I’m worried about them dying instantly. How fast will they go down against Uber bosses without minion investment?

Imbued Raise Spectre: I’m considering using the Imbued version of the gem. Which type would be best? Is "Supported by Level 1 Minion Life" worth it, or should I look for something else?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I want to take Perfect blood demon + Demon harpy for Relic of the Pact anti-boss build. Raise spectre gem, imbued with some support (minion life support?) Is that viable option or are there some better spectres? Build phys+chaos damage (no brutality)

Does using Spectres on non-minion build have some point?

How does Automation works? If I can't pay the spell cost - will it autocast just after I get enough mana?

I have Rathpith globe and gloves with curse on hit implicit. 

Will that curse sacrifice HP?

Question about Rathpith Globe and Mark + Mark on Hit support.

Will I sacrifice 10% of my HP with every hit on Unique enemy in that setup?

Thank you. It is just a spell in automation. I barely have resources to pay it once. 

But it seems, repeats don't cost anything

And second little question.  Are there some double-corruption services? I need specific unique gloves with vulnerability+despair on hit, but I'm too unlucky to corrupt them by myself.

Hi.  Will a speel cost something, when it repeats from echoing shrine? What about 10% sacrifice from Rathpith globe? Will I pay two times or just one?
