Hello, I have been trying to decrease my temps for over a year now. I repasted with a thermal pad three days ago and it didn't do anything. Can anyone help me? This are my settings for throttlestop:

Did you use Honeywell PTM 7950? Some thermal pads are not that great.

What laptop model do you have? If you have a thin and light laptop with a 10750H, it is going to run hot. The 10750H has a 45W TDP rating. If the heatsink and fan were only designed to cool a 45W CPU then you will not be able to achieve maximum performance.

Your undervolt is working OK. There is no significant room to undervolt further without losing stability.

Edit - You can check the MMIO Lock box in the TPL window so you do not have two separate sets of power limits interfering with each other. I would also upgrade to ThrottleStop 9.6. If your cooling is only good for 45W, there is not much point in setting the long term PL1 power limit to 60W. Your cooling cannot manage 60W long term.

In a post over 2 years ago, the OP mentioned it was a MSI GP66 Leopard, in case this helps.

My laptop is quite heavy: 2.4Kg
It is not heavy enough. The heatsink is not big enough to dissipate all of the heat a 10750H can create.

You have had the same overheating problem for over 2 years now. I do not know of any magic tricks that are going to fix this. Your 10750H runs hot, perhaps hotter than the average 10750H. You are already undervolting so there is nothing else you can do about that. It still comes down to a heatsink and fan that are struggling to dissipate 45W of heat when a 10750H needs 60W, 70W or 80W to achieve maximum performance. There is no simple fix for that poor design problem.

Thank you for the reply
