New M15 2070 max-q Video_TDR_Failure

TDP throttling doesn't occur due to temps.
In your case, you got a good ASIC quality GPU >70-75%. You can check it in GPU-z by right clicking the title bar and click ASIC quality. If so, I recommend undervolting via MSI AB and try to push core clocks past 2GHz.
Just backup the current vBIOS using GPU-z, i think TDP throttling isn't implemented yet on your BIOS and don't update BIOS until there's an issue, the factory BIOS is working w/o any limits.

 

Thanks for the GPU-Z tip. Just to clarify, the results above are after applying CPU&GPU undervolt (stock score was 7k) Again, even if they implement throttling over 80C I wouldn't be affected. I still have the repaste card to play too.

 

Repaste card? What's that?

 

He's referring to an additional card that he can play to help with temps - repasting the laptop. (like having an ace up his sleeve)

 

Okay. Well, it did give a different meaning, I thought he will use a thermal pad like Carbonaut or similar.

 

I mean GPU-Z ASIC readings is gone since the 900 series.

 

When? Few months ago I ran it on Pascal GPUs and ASIC quality was much better than my BGA! Let me check it out! Was it SW change or on purpose by nvidia/OEMs to mask jokebook BGAs.

 

Don't worry about it guys. While the latest GPU-Z doesn't show me the coveted ASIC quality metric, the proof is in the FPS, benchmark results and thermals. One useful new piece of info GPU-Z gave me is the thermal limit for this chip which is 87C, therefore as you can see earlier I've got a 20C buffer to that on stock paste.

 

All good
