Terms in msi afterburner monitoring

[Pratham Bhatnagar]

Hello.

Can anyone explain me what is 

Commit charger

GPU FB Usage

GPU VID usage in msi afterburner

And also there is no option for max temperature

And what are the important things to monitor while gaming on

notebook.

Commit charge has to do with memory.

 

FB usage is bus usage, the link between the card and board. Aka PCIe usage.

 

I believe VID is for Nvidia cards, has to do with their video encoder.

 

 

Google will explain everything you asked.

 

The only thing that matters is temperature. Which will probably be high because it's a laptop. You can watch your GPU mhz but it doesn't matter really, if you see drops, it's probably thermal throttling.

 

What do you mean there is no max temperature? Do you mean for recording data? Use HWInfo64.

GPU CPU temps

 

GPU CPU usage

 

GPU CPU frequencies

 

VRAM usage

 

RAM usage

 

FPS (frames per second)

As he's the only one outside a few select other blessed individuals who understand how this program works exactly.

you can see max temps in Afterburner.

MSI afterburner display temperature of all CPU cores and I have to look at all  8 cores to see if any core hitting temperature above 90° C, can't I just see overall CPU temperature.

Also my CPU temperature rises high while gaming on plugged in.

I don't remember if afterburner has an average or peak core temp. Just look in the settings.

 

That's normal for a laptop. A lot of people repaste laptops or use liquid metal to reduce temps. My wife's laptop shoots up to the 80s whenever there is a load on the system, not even gaming. Its safe for them, just not ideal. Many laptops thermal throttle constantly while gaming.

 

How old is the laptop? It might be wise to disassemble it to clean out dust. And if you have some good thermal paste, repaste it while you are in there.

It is just 10 months old, I did complaint about this and acer sent a technician who repaste it but that didn't solve the problem so i just undervolt cpu and now its reaching maximum 87°C.
I am not concerned about throttling,
I just don't want my my CPU to die early.

Laptops are notorious for high temps. Laptop cooling pads etc can help, even slightly elevating the base can improve airflow. If you have fan control, you can crank the fan to max. The CPU will protect itself from damage though.

Agreed , 87C is a bit toasty..  and the laptop will throttle at that point.

 

I can't play on my laptop at all without a *5fan* cooling pad...

 

But with the pad I can play demanding games for hours without significant issues.

Which cooling pad are you using ?

it's really just a random 15€ china cooling pad, but it works well... doubt expensive ones are any better tbh... also it has 4, not 5 fans... doesn't make a lot of difference I guess... what's important is that the fans are close to where the laptops air intakes are (which is usually this or a similar configuration)
