Hi, I'm looking for assistance with my new gaming laptop. It's an MSI Raider GE67HX 12UHS with an I9 12900, RTX 3080 TI. The overheating issue is noticeable, with temperatures rising between 96 and 100°C during gameplay. I've tried moving the laptop, adjusting FPS limits in games, updating drivers, reducing CPU usage to 80%, and lowering graphics settings. Still facing frame drops even at low settings (Helldivers 2, Apex Legends, Sea of Thieves). I also attempted to undervolt via MSI Afterburner but couldn't access it through BIOS. The repair center said benchmarks were normal, but they didn't find any power tweaking options. It's frustrating since it's brand new and clearly not performing well.

Laptops, particularly gaming models, tend to overheat. I suggest checking out the video below and selecting an appropriate cooler that fits your needs and budget, then purchasing it. The i9 and 3080 Ti struggle to stay cool inside a laptop. Video – begin at 5:02; it focuses on the IETS GT600 but includes comparisons for other models as well.

It sounds like the device is struggling with performance due to thermal problems. You could return it to receive a refund, or consider switching to an AMD-based gaming laptop. These typically consume less power, which helps the GPU cool better and might improve battery life, though a dedicated GPU could still be a challenge.

I received this laptop from a family member who works at MSI, but they didn’t charge me for it—so it’s not an option for me.

The GPU and GPU consume varying amounts of power. Your laptop reaches high temperatures on its CPU but manages to draw significantly more energy while cooling down. It’s possible there’s a buildup of oxidation affecting thermal performance. Clearing the cooler and redistributing heat can improve efficiency.

I don’t understand, and can you clarify what you’re asking about liquid metal?

Modern laptops often employ liquid metal to connect the actual chips and the cooler. Its metal composition offers excellent thermal conductivity, allowing devices to maximize cooling efficiency. You can assess the power usage of components using software such as HWInfo64.
