I have a bit of an issue with this laptop—it comes with a 300W PSU. I'm a semi-truck driver, and my old machine was the Ryzen 4600H 1650TI with a 170W power supply. The new one draws more power than I expected, especially when using an inverter for my RTX Minecraft. It cut out because of overprotection. The 170W never triggered that, but I need a way to lower its power consumption slightly so I can replace my inverter without losing my GPU completely.

Avoid losing your GPU by reducing its TGP using MSI Afterburner and adjusting the power slider. Make sure your laptop isn't charging while you play. If this doesn<|pad|>, turn off RTX. For RTX you'll need a stronger inverter that your system can support at 200-250 watts.

I disabled the hyperlinking feature, used just six cores, and it improved performance. Also, I reduced the 3060 clock speed and boosted the under-clock speed.
