    you need to monitor everything, leave hwinfo running and monitor CPU, GPU etc it can also be the SSD but I feel it shouldn't, it should slowdown when running hot but unless the game is constantly reading from it, it shouldn't bother it that much.

    Are you running an overclock? I see your memory jumping between 5000 and 6169. in the nvidia driver control page, select temporarily to prefer maximum performance just to see if clocks get maintained.

    Are the rest of your drivers up to date, like the intel GPU?

    Did you flash any vbios yet?

    Doubt it, SSDs run pretty hot by nature.

    Did you flash your vbios? are you running with a stable AC power connection to the laptop? 600 to 300 is very low for the GPU. Those are 2D settings. Are you in optimal/adaptive power plans? What drivers are you using? did you also update intel drivers?

    2 things...
    Make sure you're using DCH drivers on the video, mine came out of the box with non dch drivers installed.
    2nd, try disabling the intel video in device manager, force it to use the nvidia.
    It *might* be a fuxor in optima trying to switch back and forth from nvidia to intel.

    300 sounds like it's throttled back in idle mode. Would need to make sure it's actually using the NVidia card, and not somehow getting pointed at intel.

    The full story in detail:
    I got msi gs75 back in June for my wife. It has i7 9750h and rtx 2080 max q. Ichanged the thermal paste to liquid metal the same day of getting the laptop. The temps went from 98c to 75c on CPU. I don't remember the Gpu because I didn't use it for gaming purpose till now. I installed destiny 2 yesterday and I was seeing fps drops from 80 to 15 fps every 2 secs. I installed msi after burner and checked that when Gpu is cool it goes upto 1300-1400mhz. As soon as temps reach 73-75c I see temp limit in afterburner and the clocks speed falls slowly till 300mhz. Then it stays there till there is a load on Gpu. It goes to 450-500mhz then falls to 300mhz every 2 secs. I am using latest DCH drivers and latest Intel gpu drivers from msi website. The power is on high performance mode in nvidia control panel and I have selected preferred Gpu as powerful Gpu instead of auto as well. I'll try to disable Intel and check the results.

    Flip the fans to cooler boost too....ignore the noise, you're testing not worrying about a few decibels.

    MSI may not offer the latest drivers from the component manufacturers so try the latest one from Intel and Nvidia's websites.
    Please also make sure that the BIOS & EC are up-to-date as they may provide fixes/enhancement to your system.
