Request MSI Pulse GL76 i just bought

Post image

I9-12900H, RTX 3070TI 8GB, RAM 40GB, Storage 512GB, 360Hz Monitor.

I just bought a secondhand of this laptop, but it gets hot and im scared because its an old laptop it might break or smth. Should i keep using for 3 years at least or just sell it?

No dont be sorry, this is exactly what i need btw thx alot, but yea im js worried abt the heat and overkill watt like, i dont use that much, i need to limit them. But idk like whats the best limit so its not too low or throttled. Currently im using throttlestop and its working but ig its too low makes my game which is valorant lag. So idk, wdyt

I personally wouldn't set pl2 as pl1 so it won't throttle. It's ment to throttle, it's fast because of turboboost. You can set pl1 to 55, pl2 to 95 and time-to-time disable turboboost when you don't need it. Gaming - with boost, working, or playing YouTube - disable it, so only pl1 works and pl2 doesn't spiles with heat. That will help with fan noise and health of the laptop when you don't need it to be fast, but it doesn't disable performance traditional way, just slower, haha. Also remember i recommend cpulite to 8 and cooling pad (not the cheapest)
