here are how they look

Since I lock my GPU at 1290mhz, the power usage can vary from 60W to 70W during games, my 2070 Super Max-Q has a default power usage of 80W.

Well you can experiment with undervolting at 750mV and 800mV, you can switch between the undervolt profile in game anyways, test them out.

I do not have the "power" line in my afterburner graphics... Can't find on the web the default power usage of a RTX 2060...
BTW right now on Doom Eternal I get 66/68° on GPU (max 73°) and 74/76° on CPU, max 80

Uninstall Afterburner and RivatunerStatisticServer and install new version, don't worry your overclocking profiles still remain (answer Yes during uninstallation).

Well if you are happy with the performance and thermal with the undervolt, then everything should be alright , I don't think you will notice the performance loss.

I'm sure you won't get any better with a Renoir Laptop, because they all top out with the 2060 Max-Q version, which is a lower powered version of 2060 (65W vs 80-90W)

Seems like my Afterburner is the last version... Looks like the missin POWER parameters depends on GPU driver

Even after CPU and GPU undervolt I still get thermals... I think that's it for this laptop, guess tomorrow morning I'll bring it back.

i have the same laptop and it thermal throttles as well unless i put the laptop on "cooler boost" mode. which actually increases the fan power past "150%" and "fast" in "advanced" or "basic" modes respectively which are posted as max in those modes. "cooler boost" mode seems to boost the fans to 200% power...

you should not have to boost fans to 200% power to get it to stop thermal throttling.

msi has "assured" me that there is no known issue with the gf65thin sexr which is the Canadian model of your exact computer
if we replace the thermal paste it does not void the warranty

we shouldn't have to but that is a possibility. they told me it should be running at 60 idle and 90 under load and it seems i am running hotter than that idle. i assume its a problem with stingy thermal paste at the factory

he told me just make sure you do not get any thermal paste on the board as they could claim that it was water damage lol u know they cant tell and flux goes all over the board before you dry it if you are doing hot air replacement. just dont get any of their water stickers pink
