CPU Support (problem?)

[Marco_Came]

Good evening,
I have a question to ask hoping to receive an answer and find a solution.
To be precise, I purchased this machine:
MSI Katana GF66 12UD-074IT, Gaming Notebook, 15.6" FHD 144Hz, Intel I7-12700H, Nvidia RTX 3050Ti 4GB GDDR6, 16GB RAM DDR4 3200MHz, 1TB SSD M.2 PCIe 4.
I use this notebook with windows 11 and I only use OBS to stream with my console.
It's new so I don't use it for gaming.
However, I noticed that when doing a test with Cinebench R23, my CPU is "cut" (because it probably reaches 100%) and then returns to normal values with a maximum of 91 degrees (see image):

Furthermore, as you can see, the CPU remains at 45W instead of supporting its 115, giving a core score of almost 12,000 and not 16,000 as reported by various tests online.
As regards the temperatures, the tests on Hwinfo show them remaining around 70/80 degrees. All this in idle or at most with OBS open (the streaming program).
Can you explain to me if this is normal or is there something wrong?
The profile is set to High Performance.

If anyone would be kind enough to give me some clarification on this, I would be grateful.
Thank you

0. Your CPU is limited to 45 W in BIOS and for a good reason. Your cooler will never manage to cool 115 W down.
1. There is nothing you can do but changing BIOS settings or modding the BIOS (or maybe Throttlestop...). But...
2. You will need to improve your cooling first. Hitting 91C at 45 W simply means your CPU will get to a million degrees at 115 W and burn your laptop and yourself as well.
3. The most reasonable thing you can do is to undervolt your CPU so it will stay at 45 W but hit higher clocks.
4. And yes, this behaviour is absolutely normal.

Max Turbo Limit is 115W, but that is not what your CPU regularly consumes under load.

That's what they call Processor Base Power, which is 45W.

Thanks for the replies
What I would like to understand is:
- is it normal to just use the obs program and have those ranks without playing? With the fans still spinning? Didn't do this before (PC is new)
- If I were to play then, the CPU would explode hahahaha

I took a look at the score obtained online with my own notebook, and mine achieves a much lower score..
If you think everything is fine and I don't have to worry, that's better.
If you have any other helpful tips, I'm all ears.

If your CPU doesn't overheat it's fine.

Nope. Your CPU is overqualified for most games and won't hit so much of temperature. On the other hand, games will burn your GPU but you can lower settings, enable vsync at half your refresh rate, undervolt etc. If you run into any overheating issues it's a good idea to contact the seller and ask them for repasting.

If your CPU doesn't overheat it's fine.

With hwinfo, now, only with the browser open, it detects these degrees:

When I open obs and go live, it almost reaches 90/100 (as I showed in the previous screenshot.)
Maybe I'm the one who isn't understanding how it works? Very likely.

With Cinebench running or without?

Without cinebench..
And with obs opened, this:

If you're recording at that moment all values are valid. Temperature is a bit high but what can you do, laptops are almost always like that. If repasting is available go for it.

What do you mean with 'if repasting?' looool

However, no, they are values only with the program open.
When I go live they increase.
Risk of burning the CPU?

82C at usual loads is fine. It isn't too hot, especially for a laptop CPU. I'd be concerned at 95+ under load. Or idling at 82.

Weird. Must be lower.

Exists.

What do you mean with 'if repasting?'

I mean applying a different thermal paste in a more correct way than it was done by the manufacturer.

Intel designed 12th Gen and up to run at 100c. If its below, that nice, but nothing to worry about.

I think OP is saying that it’s 80* with OBS open and no streaming.

@Marco_Came what are temps when streaming?

He said 80 when he opened OBS and went live. 90C was Cinebench, which is fine.

Op can speak for themselves but

Between 80/90..

What's the polling interval?

What's the polling interval?

Where can I find this parameter to indicate to you?

Click the gear toward the bottom right, just next to the X(close) button.

It's 2 seconds in your case. Funny how I understand everything despite never learning Italian.
