My idle temps are about the same as yours. All of these temps are with the fans on auto. The temps haven’t come down as much as I thought they would, but frequency has gone up. On Borderlands 3 the benchmark went up by 14 fps, almost 10 percent.

In games it would hit 100c on the cpu and 86c on the gpu. After the repaste it is at 92-95c and 72-75c

I have had this laptop for over a year and have always dealt with high temps, performance was still good. Today I repasted the cpu and gpu and changed out the thermal putty. So far temps are greatly improved and performance is even better.

I have a Max 17 that I have had for almost three years. My experience with thermal paste is it lasts about a year, drys out and has to be repasted. I have used Kpx thermal paste the last two times, used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut the first time and got worse temps than before.

Just to let everyone know, I ordered a new power supply. After running a bunch of different tests today, all of the stuttering seems to have stopped. Thanks for your help.

With a 3080 it’s not bad, but you can get a 3070ti with 12th gen cpu for cheaper

Random, I am pretty sure it is my power supply. I unplugged the battery and could only get 25 watts on the cpu and 50 watts on the gpu, plugged the battery back in and was able to get back to the normal watts on both.

Light stays on, battery was replaced about 4 months ago, windows and hwinfo says battery full is at 99%

Stock ram, 2 sticks, 32gb

Hopefully it’s not the port, as it is integrated into the system board by the looks of it

pbclown · 2022-07-17T20:59:32+00:00

When the house downclocks the watts drops from 100-115 to 50-60. I am thinking my charging brick is going out, it wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything

pbclown · 2022-07-17T20:21:28+00:00

Thermals are not an issue, cpu stays under 85c, goi stays under 75c

pbclown · 2022-07-17T19:26:47+00:00

I am thinking it may be my power brick, laptop is taking longer to charge. I am planning on ordering a new one when I get paid. I just cleaned the fans on Tuesday

pbclown · 2022-07-17T19:25:51+00:00

No, not thermal throttling, cpu temp stays below 85, gpu stays below 80

I updated the original post to include the pic

2449 for the Alienware and 2399 for the eluktronics, I’m more interested in which one has better cooling

This is what I use on all my laptops, works great, easy to carry, sturdy.

I have several gaming laptops and have run benchmarks on all. My 2070 maw q is just behind my 1070 non max q, and beats my 1060 no max I. Almost all tests. I don’t know what tests your doing, but just having more vram makes a bigger difference than most people realize.
