5x5

Just avoid the 2060 model. The other two appear to be fine. Apparently the 2060 is too much for the cooler since the 1650 and 1660 models run under 90C

It's normal. 30% of your RAM is almost always getting eaten up by the OS and basic applications. In your case you have a ton of junk also running so 41% is perfectly normal

9300H/9400H = Ryzen 5 1400. 10750H, 4600H = Ryzen 5 3600/i5 10500 4800H = 10700(K)/Ryzen 7 3700X This is assuming the desktop models are running stock

Look for a more reasonable Ryzen 4000 laptop. The Lenovo Legion 5, Acer Nitro 5, Asus A15, HP Omen 15 and Eluktronics RP-15 are all fantastic options. And for context, a Ryzen 5 4600H is faster, cooler and more efficient than an i7 10750H

You won't find a cool running laptop these days unless you're willing to buy a heavy on with lots of cooling. My point above stands, those are the limits of what is considered safe

Consider a B450 Pro4 I'd you need a value board.

They've been dropping the ball recently. Firmware issues and questionable fan profiles for the thermal solutions. They also rebranded the XPS models as Precision workstation which is an insult to anyone buying a proper workstation and expecting workstation quality and features. That's why the precision users all went over to HP ZBooks and ThinkPad P series. Can't say I recommend Dells business models unless they're significantly cheaper. ThinkPads and EliteBooks are currently much better.

Both are not something I would use with a dGPU but I'd you are limited to them only, U9

Both are excellent hex cores. Feel free to finite Reddit. Most people don't even know how to accurately monitor Zen thermals. They likely used a broken tool like HW Monitor which reports 20*C above real temperatures. Not worth it. Performance wise, you're getting less than a Ryzen 3 4300U with double the heat and power draw. Like I said, HP Envy x360 or T14. The Asus ZenBook 14 is also a option but not as good as the former two. Don't judge a laptop by the way the chassis feels. The XPs 13 feels nice to touch but its among the worst mobile options

If the price is good, get that

The AMD T14s is very cool. It's also a magnesium cage design. Doesn't get more premium than that but if it's out of range, the HP Envy x360 with AMD

All of them are shit value. The mobile 2060 is not really that much faster than 1660 Ti due to power limits. Look for a properly cooled Ryzen and 1660 Ti model. An example is the HP Omen 15 or the Asus Zephyrus G14/15. Also consider the Eluktronics RP-15. And you can skip intel options as a whole. The i7 10750H is slower than the Ryzen 5 4600H while the i7 is hotter and has worse battery life. The 7nm Renoir COUs from AMD are extremely good in laptops and deliver dekstop-like performance for less money.

Look for different models. Both of thrones you're looking at have heat issues because the coolers are garbage

Get a 3300X or 3600 Get a B450 Pro4. The B450 Prime is shit Seagate Barracuda drives are notoriously unreliable and prone to failure. Get a WD Blue The power supply is a fire hazard. Get a proper one such as a Corsair CX 450 or a Be Quiet System Power 9 500W

Reseat the CPU and drives

Remove the RAM OC which started it? Reset CMOS and reseat the RAM

Which MSI model? I'd it's the Armour the avoid it.

Good luck with that price. A brand new RX 580 is cheaper and faster and has warranty. Lower it to 100$ max

DDu the video driver Remove Geforce experience Update the BIOS Update the chipset driver Track thermals and power limits on the card Make sure the game isn't running in borderless window

I would never buy a laptop that has been used and abused for nearly a decade

I'll second the Asus G14

The 400 mitt one. X1 needs to be updated to AMD Renoir. The current i7 is three times slower than a 4700U

Acer Nitro 5 or Lenovo Legion 5 with a Ryzen 5 4600H and 1650 Ti or, if you need a 1660 Ti, the Asus A15 and Hap Omen with a Ryzen 7 4800H

Get the 4600H. It's over two times faster than the 3550H. It also runs cooler and delivers much better battery life.

The issue is that it probably has VERY little life left in it - so it's essentially money in the wind
