The system features a finely tuned balance. The second model appears to have minor multicore CPU constraints on the 4060ti, possibly due to TDP restrictions in the UEFI. The 12400f seems to be a Lenovo prebuilt unit.
You should review GPU usage times in more games before considering it satisfactory.
I swapped the GPU and power supply, but CPU temps still hover below 70, sometimes reaching 72.
Likely TDP is constrained. At full load it drops below 100%, showing a TDP cap. It probably runs at around 65W with temperatures near 70°C, suggesting the limit. There could be an UEFI option to raise the max TDP to about 105W, but that seems unlikely for a prebuilt unit.
I verify whether performing this action within The BIOS is secure and won't damage the system.
I question whether it will offer this feature. If it does, it should work well. I’m not very sure about OEM motherboards overall. It’s conceivable there are performance, normal, or quiet presets that could alter the TDP in the UEFI. A company like Lenovo would likely want to make this a prosumer-friendly setting in the UEFI rather than something easily adjustable in Windows.
I’m a bit concerned about your CPU’s clock speed being 3.7GHz
