Is 95C normal on Katana GF66 12UD normal?

Hello!
Ive had this now for 3 years. I didnt exactly want a laptop but was still very grateful. Played happily on it for over a year and noticed the CPU Temps over a year ago. I noticed it was 95C and applied thermal paste on it and it was still on 95C and thought: "I guess this is normal" and moved on. Ive had no problems with it to this day all though im going to clean it again whenever I got time.
I was just wondering if this is a normal thing on this model or on gaming laptops.

do msi laptops really have bad build quality in general

A few months ago i picked up a msi pristage ai evo 14 inch from 2023 its a solid laptops the keyboard is bright good for me for typing, i can flip my screen by pressing f11 for whatever reason. But the trackpad has been feeling a little loose sometimes to the point. where it feels like it might fall apart. i also noticed their is very silent coil whine coming from the cpu area when i move my fingers on the trackpad.

Msi laptop always on dgpu

My MSI Katana 17 B13U with RTX 3050 is always running on the dedicated GPU, even during light tasks. I tried multiple fixes. Initially, selecting “Auto-select” in the NVIDIA settings worked, but after about a month, the system went back to using the dGPU all the time.

MSI GS66 Stealth 10UH broken af

I need help. I got this laptop back in 2021 and within the first 2 years, it’s been messing up .

the main things is how loud the fan is just from turning on. it’s so loud that I can barely hear myself. the other main thing is how hot it gets even if i’m not playing anything. it goes up and over 90 degrees Celsius and literally burns me. I can smell how hot this thing is.

other problems that occur is the screen switching between a blue hue to a warm hue randomly, battery going down crazy fast, and recently it’s crashed twice from playing Mortal Kombat.

mind you, i recently factory reset this laptop and MK is the only game i have downloaded now. and I tried to take it to Best Buy (Geek Squad) so they can fix it and they didn’t even open up the laptop or do jack shit. i tried to sell it to Best Buy and they tried to give me like $100 for a $2000+ laptop……..

nothing has worked. idk anything about laptops, so pls dumb down anything u guys say 💔

and if it matters my processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz (idk what any of this means either)

to put it short: got laptop 4 years ago, gets too hot, fan too loud, screen switches hues, battery drains fast, crashed twice, don’t know what to do. Thanks. :-)

Keyboard keys failing + keyboard backlight issues on MSI Stealth (bought Oct 2023) – should I format or give up?

Hello, I really need some advice because I’m starting to panic a bit.

I’m using an MSI Stealth 16 studio A13V laptop that I bought in October 2023, so it’s still relatively new. Lately, I’ve been



running into multiple keyboard issues:

\- Numpad 1 and 2 are not working properly

\- The letter “O” is failing (Had to change its position in the keyboard)

\- The Backspace key feels like it’s slowly dying / becoming unreliable

\- The keyboard lighting has faded a lot There are no more lighting settings available (it’s stuck at a very dim brightness)

I tried turning the keyboard light off completely, thinking it might reduce stress on the keyboard

What’s weird is that the indicator lights (ESC, F1, Caps Lock, and the power button) are still very bright, so it doesn’t seem like a full lighting failure

I honestly don’t know if this is a software/driver issue, firmware problem or a hardware failure (keyboard dying already??!!!)

I’m not sure whether I should try formatting it or is there a troubleshooting method i need to try or just accept that the keyboard is failing

I really love this laptop, which makes this frustrating. My previous laptop (HP Omen) lasted me 7+ years ( I only replaced it because the battery completely died). That’s why this feels way too early for major issues.

Has anyone experienced something similar on MSI laptops or the Stealth series?

Is formatting even worth trying, or does this sound like a hardware problem?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I can't unlock option to undervolt CPU (core I7 13700 Hz) - MSI Sword 16 Hx B13

Basically I've completed every possible step to enable undervolting on my MSI Sword 16 HX (i7-13700HX), yet the Offset still remains at 0.0000 in ThrottleStop.
In the BIOS, I have already:
Set Undervolt Protection to Disabled.
Set CFG Lock and Overclocking Lock to Disabled.
Disabled IA CEP and GT CEP
In Windows 11, disabled VBS and Core Isolation/Memory Integrity and Disabled the Hypervisor Turned off Fast Startup, any advice or help would be greatly appreciated
