    Hello everyone,

    Sorry I posted in wrong location of forum so I decided to post it again here, sorry for the trouble

    I recently bought a MSI GT73VR 6RF (GTX 1080) and received it yesterday but I think the laptop is defective
    I optimized it, ran benchmark (everything is fine) and installed all drivers so there are not any viruses, malware or anything.

    Problem is the GPU and CPU temp and the fan speed !!

    When gaming plugged in, my GPU is 87-90 degrees, CPU is like 80 degrees
    IDLE plugged in, GPU is 65 degrees and CPU 50-60 degrees.

    When gaming, the fan are becoming crazy ! Its scary lol

    However, when unplugged in IDLE, GPU and CPU are like 45 degrees.


    So what could be the problem ?
    How to check if the AC adapter gives enough power ? How to check Mhz or Ghz ? (Sorry don't know too much in this field)
    Problem may comes from here or from speed of the fans.

    I paid a lot of money as a student and I don't know what to do ...

    What are your normal temps in IDLE and GAMING in ultra ? Really important question for me !

    If anyone has time to check my laptop with Teamviewer he would definitely save my life ....

    Thanks to all of you.

    The temps listed are pretty normal for this system and the reason the temps are lower on battery power only is because system down clocks and you're not using the full power of this system on battery power only.

    Did you do any thermal compound upgrade when you purchase the system or was this a stock model?

    Also do you use a notebook cooler when gaming to see if this helps for better air flow so your fans aren't ramping all the way up constantly?
