so i decided to check on that.įirstly there are two components contributing heating CPU and GPU.

My AW 15 R3 i7 7700HQ and GTX 1060 6GB also had heating problems and fps drop issues. Max Temp while gaming I ever saw was 85c after hours of gaming, I literally played games on it for 8hrs+ everyday till a week with these settings. I hope my GPU is fine, I haven't turned on my laptop yet. See the image to see the undervolt graph that I used that the guy used to undervolt the GPU. It's so silly I followed some random guy's youtube like that. I freaked out and uninstalled MSI Afterburner, but I am really concerned about my laptop now if any damaged has been caused to my card after this. I followed exactly the same voltage curve graph in Afterburner he used, but as I am new to this stuff, I didn't pay attention to it.Īfter a week of playing and usual daily task working on my laptop I noticed it was heating up even on being idle, and the battery was running out faster than it should I started to wonder and checked to my surprise the GPU was clocked to 1899mhz even in idle condition at 0.874 volts. In the video the guy used MSI AfterBurner and claimed that it would undervolt the gpu and give less heat. So I followed a video on youtube to undervolt my laptop's gpu which is Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb.
