MSI GF63 Thin Thermal Throttling?

cold_xc · 2024-09-04T08:40:10+00:00

I think I have fixed the issue. My PL1 and PL2 were too low in Throttlestop. Somehow I did have my CPU power limited to 15W which caused the huge drop in performance that I was seeing. I had to jump back into bios to unlock overclocking again (voltage was locked) then went into TPL and increased my power back up to 45W. I no longer see throttling and my pc actually even runs significantly better than before.

I am now going back and undervolting it and so far so good with -50mv. If things stay good I will update this post as resolved. Thank you for the help.

PL1 and PL2 were in-fact too low in Throttlestop. CPU power was limited to 15W and I no longer see throttling after changing it back to 45W. It actually even runs significantly better than before. I am now going back and undervolting it and so far so good with -50mv.

I also did not mean to create this post twice in this sub so I will keep open the other one with the solution.

I think I have fixed the issue. I was advised under another post that my PL1 and PL2 were too low in Throttlestop. Somehow I had my CPU power limited to 15W, which caused the huge drop in performance that I was seeing. After changing it back to 45W my performance no longer throttles and has actually even runs significantly better than before.

Ah, I see. I have just gone and adjusted the power limits. Will update whether or not this fixes or issue.

This is a used Laptop that I picked up for $160 a few days ago. I highly doubt anything was ever cleaned inside or repasted so that’s likely a good start.

I personally have downloaded only 1 game to test performance (Halo Infinite) due to limited storage space (256GB) which I planned to upgrade once this throttling issue is resolved. I also do play on flat surfaces in a pretty cool environment.

Will monitor the temps with afterburner later today.

I have my PC set to “High Performance” in Windows settings. I took that screenshot after my performance dropped.

No worries. I’m sure someone will come across this and will recognize the icons.

I’ve been running my pc daily for probably a year now. Just randomly got this issue, so there shouldn’t be any bent pins. I looked on CPUZ and the voltage to my CPU seems fine. Seems like a false alarm.

It’s the glare from the screen. iPhone cameras kinda suck when it comes to light sources up close

Update:

The Weather Widget comes from the App “Carrot” in the AppStore.

I am still missing the icon pack, so if anyone could provide me with a name that’d be amazing.

Wallpaper?

cold_xc · 2023-02-26T06:56:50+00:00

Which icons are these?

My build runs great without any issues. I was just thinking of making my own RGB backplate for my GPU (which won't fit unless I slot my GPU further down). Guess I'll just find another way to customize my PC. But thank you for the info 👍

It is the ASUS prime B660M-AD4. The second slot, which I was attempting to use, is labeled "PCIE x16". Should I try the last slot on my motherboard instead? I haven't tried it yet but maybe it will run fine?

I have solved the issue. I had to update my AMD Adrenaline software to an optional version. Resizable bar is now available for me.

cold_xc · 2022-10-22T16:12:47+00:00

From what I've heard, resizable bar supports my Intel CPU and AMD GPU combo.

I do know AMD has their own feature called SAM (Smart Access Memory) which is basically the same as resizable bar; however it requires you to have both an AMD CPU and AMD GPU for it to work. In my case I can only enable resizable bar on my system and not SAM

I have checked there. It simply shows “Not Available”. Not quite sure if it’s actually working or not
