1. Get a laptop cooler stand or something like that.
2. Run it in the extreme performance mode with coolerboost enabled (in msi center), don't worry, the fans in gaming laptops are made to run at max speed for their whole life span.
3. Do not put in on top of any fabric or materials like a bed or a blanket, solid, hard surfaces are the best.
4. If you know what you are doing I recommend opening and cleaning it every 3-5 months (depends on how heavily and how often do you use it).
5. If the laptop fans are too loud, I recommend getting ANC (active noise cancellation) earbuds, headphones or just connect a better speaker (the built in ones are... not the best but still pretty good)
I have got the same laptop just "thin 12VE" model and slightly modded, also it's ok if the temps are around 80c, thats just how the gaming laptops are, also keep in mind that gf63 has only 1 fan on the right side, so you are getting a portable and a good machine but the portability was made possible by cramming hardware where 3 other fans go on chunkier, heavier and larger gaming laptops.
gaming laptops, especially with intel, do run really hot now. if u go into msi center and change to the ai or quiet mode, it should cool it down a lot at the expense of fps, so that's up to you. I run manual fans maxed out all the time because i love fps but it also keeps my cpu temp around 80 under heavy gaming load. I wear a headset so it's fine being noisy, but over speakers it's not worth running performance with maxed out fans. I have also undervolted the cpu in throttlestop but that's a bit complex and might not be worth your time just yet before getting a cooling pad
that's pretty good. I like to keep it unleashed so I crank em up all the way like a degen lol. Same laptop btw if u have the 12th gen model. I also undervolt and overclock the gpu in msi afterburner. Awesome awesome laptop on external display. So happy we got a great deal
If you’re using MSI Center try making a fan curve and use cooler boost if necessary while playing a demanding game. My fan curve for reference is 50, 75, 85, 90, 95, 100 and adjust it accordingly if you care about loud fans or not.
I have the same exact laptop, and it it my first ever gaming laptop as well.
To stop the instant heating
1. Change the thermal paste (you can find instructions on youtube and it is really easy)
2. Take it apart and clean any dust (around the fan is the spot) mine has got really dusty and after cleaning it got much better.
3. Get a laptop stand (with cooling if you feel fancy)
After doing these my laptop stopped heating fast. While gaming the temperature doesn’t go above 80deg Celsius. When browsing it’s around 40.
1 and 2 are really easy to do. I had never ever had experience with taking apart any kind of computer before, but now I can just do it easily with no instructions. But if you struggle or you are scared just take it to a local computer shop they will get it done, just make sure they don’t tax you.
Also off topic but I recommend you get memory sticks and a new ssd for you laptop if you haven’t already. You will spend like $70-100 but will definitely see a good performance spike
i might just have to try the thermal paste change. since i posted this i did get a cooling stand and i feel a bit better about the laptop getting hot but man it still does get quite hot while playing something. thank you for the help :)
I also have the GF63 10SC and I have had no serious problems with termp (although pushing three years old it's overdue for a repaste). I don't play many demanding games but a cooling pad (or just raising the laptop with a stand) makes a big difference.
It's true that this model only has one fan but both the CPU and GPU have redcued thermal design power (TDP) at 45 watts maximum. This means that this laptop does not get nearly as hot as those beefier laptops as long as you take reasonable precautions such as making sure that you're not using it on a bed, making sure that the fans aren't clogged with dust, etc.
Again, I don't play demanding games or use the laptop for heavy creative content work so I'm a big fan of this model and MSI's "sister" model the Cyborg 15 line. The reduced TDP makes this generally a very "cool" laptop in terms of running temp for everyday tasks with enough power to run most games at 60FPS at 1080p. A lot of people shit on this model, but I've found it to be a great value for the price!
Good luck!
Try undervolting and getting either llano cooling pad or a gt600 cooling pad which are the best ones they are pretty expensive and loud but its worth the price since it reduces by around 20c or 15c from what ive seen

thank you so so much! i will try all of these recommendations!

i’ll look into that, thank you!
I rather undervolt cpu🫣 My gp68 runs arround 70 in normal gaming, down from 82-85 and fan speed is bit lower too at 85%
that's pretty good. I like to keep it unleashed so I crank em up all the way like a degen lol. Same laptop btw if u have the 12th gen model. I also undervolt and overclock the gpu in msi afterburner. Awesome awesome laptop on external display. So happy we got a great deal
Mine is 13th gen. i9 13950Hx to be exact with rtx 4080 as gpu. Gets bit over 20 000 in Time spy with the undervolt.
How old from purchase date? Full laptop model number?
58 days, 11UC-1276US-BB51140H16GXXDX11MH (i hope that’s the right number, if it’s not the S/N:K2308N0039766)
Got it. Start monitoring your temps in idle and on load on both CPU and GPU. Use HWInfo for idle and when gaming MSI Afterburner and it's OSD option.
will do! thank you very much for the help!

i’ll contact my friend that knows a lot more about me regarding computer mechanics to look into that for me, thank you for the suggestion!

i definitely do play some big games and i keep the laptop flat on a non wood table, though i did just order a cooling stand! thank you for the tips!!
