Hello,
Unfortunately I'm not sure if this is the right subforum???
But I recently bought a notebook and noticed that it produces extreme heat even with normal use.
I read in the dealer's forum that it could be a faulty BIOS setting. A query to MSI about this was answered with a defect and I was given an RMA number.
Now I wanted to hear your opinion.
Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks in advance

Update:
The CPU got very hot when gaming and fluctuated between 90 and 100°C despite the fan speed being at maximum... and that with 11% processor utilization of the P-cores.
Apparently MSI cannot use the P1 and P2 limits for the 13980HX.
220W was entered for P1 and P2 in the BIOS.
Intel specifies a maximum of 157W for the maximum short-term power and 55W for the maximum continuous power.

No wonder the CPU got so hot... 220W continuous power is far too much for laptop cooling.
With the Intel values, the notebook is now much quieter when gaming, with temperatures between 53°C in Crash Bandicot and 73% in Talos Principle 2 (UE5 Engine).
To view the BIOS settings in the BIOS start screen at the same time:
press right Shift + KI key (to the left of the FN key) + left ALT + F2.
