I did a few small tweaks and have screenshots of them below. With barely any other alterations, not even a laptop pad, the temps reached a max of 71 for CPU and 67 for GPU when playing Ghost Recon Wildlands (capped at 60 FPS though since my screen supports that at max).
Earlier it used to be 60-70 with peaks to 80. Now its peaked at 71.

All my tweaks are visible in the screenshots - except CPU under volting - this is at -0.125v for cpu core and cache.

    Also... see the user benchmark (ignore the SSD part of this).

    Can you please tell me the values for MSI afterburner? It's difficult for me to change seeing this sorry i'm new to this. I really want to try this on my Helios 300 I've got the g3-572 model.

    Values in MSI Aferburner are to be set manually - time taking process, but well worth it. Now without any external fan or anything my temps are pretty stable under 75 at full loads sustained.

    Open MSI, click on Ctrl-F to pull up fan curve editor, and pull the lines like mine are. Once done, save the profile! Don't forget to do this or all settings  could get reset.

    I am attached a full screen curve screenshot so you can read better.


    In the above my card is undervolted to max of 975. I am still trying to further optimize this and shall update this thread if i can find a better one.

    Thank you so much for taking your time out and posting a seperate screenshot. Can you just help me in one more thing? Can you post the values in written like 1500>1522 etc. Bcuz even if I'll just copy it from the picture there is a chance I could go wrong and i don't think setting wrong values especially in curve is fine so... please take a lil more time and post that too :)

    No problem brother.

    Just a heads up, Sri369 is using Windows 7 so overclock/undervolt values may not work the same way. Either way im very interested to see how his values work for you!

    Please let us know the results once you have the values!

    Technically it shouldn't matter. I am using the ini/configurations from my windows 10 install before moving to 7. No changes :-) and they work perfectly!

    Throttlestop version does matter for Windows version but that's not what I was talking about.

    I was reffering to the curve edit of your MSI AB.

    Same for it too.. as long as one doesn't push it too hard! On 7 I could push it to max of 925 without any issues but the one shared with him has a max of 975.

    So okay i used this config today and it works kinda same to my older one. So it did not made much differences in temps or anything for me. But anyway that's the result we got :)
