Review on 💻 MSI GF65 Thin 9SD-004 15.6" Gaming Laptop Intel Core i7-9750H GTX1660Ti 16GB 512GB NVMe SSD Win10Home with 120Hz Display by Brent Gurney

As has been said, gets very hot. How very hot. Maybe it's the i7, but I got 97 degrees on one of the cores, it's awful. I have a laptop stand with built in fans that constantly blow cooler air around the back. I also installed ThrottleStop (something I recommended in someone else's reviews - MANY thanks to whoever I read this from) to keep the voltage down even at the lower frequency I've seen. So far the results are encouraging, playing Control and COD Modern Warfare we've seen around 75 degrees. Still a little on the warm side, but much more manageable. The GPU still didn't get past 65 degrees and wasn't a problem. Also note: I ended up adding another stick with 8GB of RAM as only one was included. Update: After some additional tweaking, I can get the CPU to run at 70 degrees. My highest stable Cinebench score with lower core voltage and cache was 3130! It was about 2789 before the brownout and was operating in the 90 degree range. It makes such a difference in games, they run smoothly. Be sure to buy ThrottleStop and just study/search some YouTube videos on where to download it and how to run it and you're done. I'm planning to get MSI Afterburner and see if I can increase the GPU load a bit. too much of. The GPU is still running in the mid 60s at full load without any optimizations, so I find it pretty respectable. I just think I can squeeze some more juice out of the GPU. Before and after: CPU - 97° before adjustments; 70° afterGPU - TBDS Note: A nice side effect of undervolting (which I didn't know about because I didn't really know anything about it before buying this laptop) is that when you undervolt you increase the core clock because the CPU isn't through throttled to higher temperatures, allowing it to run faster at higher speeds. So not only is it a lot cooler, but it's also a lot more powerful. I've mainly used Cinebench to make sure the undervoltage is stable, but I've been getting higher and higher results, which now makes sense for speeding up the chip. This differs from overclocking (which I've done in the past) as the 10700k isn't fixed at 5.3GHz, the turbo is still 4.5GHz on the 9750h, but under load I get around 3.4 initially GHz reached. when it throttled, but now I'm steadily getting closer to 4GHz. It can still reach 4.5GHz when turbo is running.
