My laptop is MSI GS63VR 7RF with Intel's 7700HQ and it runs super hot while gaming. I use throttlestop to under volt by -110 mV but still the laptop hovers around 95 degrees. I even changed the paste but it didn't help. But if I disable the turbo the laptop sits around 75-80 degrees while gaming but there is lag sometimes when it has to process lots of animations at once. Disabling turbo sets the multiplier to 28 and the clock speed is 2.8 GHz. If the turbo isn't disabled then the laptop runs all 4 cores at 3.4 GHz. I want to run all the cores at 3.2 GHz by manually setting the multiplier but when I change the multiplier higher than 28 then the multiplier goes to 34 automatically and it runs at 3.4 GHz again.

Someone please help me.

Disabling turbo is likely all you can accomplish, as the 7700HQ is not a K variant allowing you to select whichever multiplier you wish, even if lower.

Most laptops are not adequately engineered for impressively low CPU temps under heaving gaming loads, and, as long as not throttling, that's a victory for most.

Thank you for the information. :D
 


There is another way, I think. You want to prevent it from hitting 3.4GHz because your laptop gets too hot and the reduction in speed and thusly heat is a priority over the minor FPS hit.

Right click Start
Click Power Options
Click Additional Power Settings(Right side)
Click Change Plan Settings next to your currently selected plan
Click Change Advanced Power Settings
Expand Processor State Management
Expand Maximum Processor State
Reduce it to your liking and click OK.

Might as well check your Cooling Policy above Maximum State.

I have done this before and this just disables the turbo. I disable turbo from throttlestop instead.
