Half of p cores reaching extreme temps after repaste as well.

So I got this laptop a few days ago... Its a MSI Vector GP76 with an i7-12700h
Ran cinebench r23 on it and the temps of the p cores were
85
91
82
96
85
100
Seeing the overheating, i repasted both the gpu and cpu die hoping to get better results.
Half of my p cores which were in the 80s had dropped down to 70s but the other half(mostly two of them p3 and p5) were still hitting extreme temps.

Even the cpu clocks were running a lot lower than they should, as you can see in the image.


I tried undervolting in the bios..set the core offset to -150 and core cache(ring) to -60
but i dont think that settings got applied(cause of some lock on H series chips) because i saw no difference at all. Tried PL1 setting of 90w but that didnt do anything as well.


I dont know what else there is to try right now...

Replace motherboard or buy a new laptop?

Hey everyone, my MSI GS65 8SE's motherboard died a couple months ago and it has been just sitting since then. Tried to get it repaired but didn't work. A replacement motherboard costs around $300, which is pretty expensive for me, but if it works I might save up for it.

Is that a good option? Or too risky and I should just save up for a new laptop? (Also an MSI)

MSI VECTOR 16 HX AI A2XWHG-046 CPU Package power

Hi, I've just purchased an MSI vector 16 hx ai laptop (Model number a2xwhg-046). After I receive, I've done some inspection before activated windows and found something abnormal. The CPU in the laptop which is the Intel Ultra 7 255HX cannot reached the performance as intended. The CPU Cinebench R23 bencemark score is only around 23000, quite low compare to the normal bencemark score that you can search in any same model unboxing video which is 34000. I do further inspection with AIDA 64 Stability test and monitor with HWINFO and found the abnormal part. I've found out that the CPU package power only fluctuate around 65W instead of fluctuating between 140 to 170W in those same model benchmark and unboxing video. I've make sure I've changed it to the extreme performance mode, discrete GPU settings, battery is 100% fully charged and plugin with AC adapter and the temperature of the Ultra 7 255HX doesn't exceed 70°C. So I can't confirm that this is not a thermal throttling issues but a power limit issues. The 5070 ti GPU is working fine. I would like to know anyone with the same spec or same model laptop, what's your CPU (Ultra 7 255 HX) performance and package power under CPU only intensive workload (like stress test with Aida 64 or R23)? I suspect I've received a defect unit

I am looking to replace an old Alienware with one of these laptops. Anyone have thoughts on which maybe better in terms of build quality? I am hoping one of these won’t fry itself and last years. I am also hoping someone can tell me which has the better screen as I can’t really tell what really makes a difference between these 2 computers

MSI Stealth 16AI High idle temps Help?

So just bought a used MSI stealth 16ai studio with the rtx 4060 and core ultra 9 185h

and this processor is driving me crazy, like i have never had a laptop with a hotter processor than this, i understand that the cooling isnt optimal since the MSI Stealth is pretty slim.

But idle temps of 60-70c are just insane and doing benchmarks or stability tests drives the cpu to the near limit of 95-105c i know the max operating temperature of this processor is 110c but if it starts reaching that temp might as well throw my stove away and use this laptop.

Does anyone know a way to limit this cpu or lower the temps without loosing too much performance?

I am going to change the thermal paste soon but i am pretty sure that wont solve my problem, since new thermal paste usually lowers temps by like 5c.

Also if anyone knows any MSI Center alternative please tell me, because the MSI center is just laggy.

Thanks in advance!

I have an MSI laptop that is still under its 2 year warranty from the date of purchase. I previously filed a warranty claim a few months ago, and the website indicates my warranty is still active. Currently, my laptop has accidental screen damage, booting issues, a broken trackpad, and other problems. Will I still be eligible to make another warranty claim?
