your aspire 5 is running smoothly at the moment, but when the GPU hits full power it struggles. the cpu stays in a lower base speed while the GPU draws more energy, causing efficiency drops. you've tried throttling and BIOS updates, but results are mixed—some games work well, others feel sluggish. checking the msi burner panel for power limits might help, and adjusting cooling or fan speeds could improve stability. consider consulting a pro if the issue persists.

Laptops usually have a set limit on overall power usage, which affects how they dissipate heat. Nvidia and Intel CPUs collaborate through a feature called Optimus, allowing power to be shared between the CPU and GPU based on the system's demands.

It seems advanced Optimus is the problem. Can I avoid it by connecting an external monitor?

You're suggesting the elephant in the room is Advanced Optimux. Can I avoid it by connecting an external monitor?

The i5 1240p is a locked CPU with strict voltage limits—no under or over voltages allowed. The maximum turbo boost window is capped at 28 seconds; beyond that it throttles. It runs best around 28 watts to keep temperatures stable. Adjusting throttle settings can improve stability and FPS by 10-15% while reducing stutters, as seen in my configuration.
