The Ryzen 2700U CPU stays under 0.3 watts as shown by MSI Afterburner. At 0.1 watts it operates at 54°C, and at 0.3 watts at 72°C. This is unusual. Despite changing the thermal paste and cleaning the fan, no improvement was seen. If I push the CPU to full wattage with software, it would exceed 80°C, which is unacceptable. Is the cooling solution in my Dell Inspiron Ultrabook 7375 smelling bad? I’m puzzled about the stability at such low power.

It seems the MSI Afterburner configuration might be incorrect.

The message confirms the situation accurately, noting the drop to 0.0 watts following software changes that increased the CPU's TDP.
It also explains the need to disable certain BIOS settings for stability reasons, such as CPB, which might be affecting MSI's ability to monitor the CPU activity.
