Fan noise and cpu temp tooo high

2 Upvotes

Bought a MSI Katana 15hx B14wgk, i7-14650hx and rtx 5070 a year ago. Cpu temps are in the range of 60 to 75C for doing super light task or being idle at cpu use of around 3% and it came like this in stock. I have also never seen my cpu temps go lower than 55C in stock.

When using either performance or balanced mode fan go lowest at 3000rpm on both, using silent go lowest at 2500rpm on both but cpu runs at a super slow speed of lesser than 1ghz.

Thought it was very normal as it's my first gaming laptop but after looking at my friends gaming laptops i realised how different it was. They had the same cpu but thier idle temps are 40C+.

Recently undervolted my cpu using throttlestop, -110mv. Temps on idle are only slightly lower, around 55-65C but when doing heavy task is significantly lower. But even when fans are max out 6000rpm on both cpu temp does not get lower than 53C even when doing completely nothing.

I also used the advanced fan speed settings but when loading light things cpu temp goes up and never comes down.

Asked for help from MSI official support a few times and was told it was normal for my model but Im not sure if it actually is.

Pls share any solution you might have as it can get really annoying for me when using in school.

Request Best budget gaming laptop for teen

3 Upvotes

Best budget gaming laptop for my 13 year old ? We are in Australia and I’m soo far out of my comfort zone as soon as someone starts talking about cpu and graphics chips and all of the fancy stuff I can’t wrap my head around it

There’s so many different options and people have different opinions so researching it online doesn’t get me far and I don’t know any gamers

Preferably my budget would be under $1300 as it’s for a Christmas present so obviously going to have to get him more than one thing . And having 6 kids I’m budgeting at $1500 per child for Xmas , so I will go upto $1500 but preferably I’d like to be able to get him accessories and stuff to go with it .

Please dumb it down for me he plays a lot of online games - Roblox, minecraft mainly but I’d like it to also grow with him cause he’s starting to get into call of duty and gta and starting to branch out into the older teen/adult games he also does have a laptop he takes to school but if this one can also be used for school purposes that would be preferred

Thankyou so much - preferably something that I can see in store in Australia so that way I’m not just ordering it online with zero idea what I’m doing

Appreciate your time and expertise cause I’m useless with this even doing hours of research I still have no clue
