How to undervolt MSI Vector 16HXA13V

Hi, i have MSI VECTOR 16 HX A13V and CPU temp is over 70° in IDLE.
Can I undervolt the CPU? If so, how can I do it? I can't find anything about it in the BIOS.
Can anyone help?

I also have another problem:
If I install NVIDIA drivers later than 577.00, the GPU's VRAM clock stays at 9000 MHz even at idle, reaching 53°C...
While with the 577.00 drivers, when I'm not using the PC, the VRAM clock is 410 MHz, remaining at 36/37°C.
 
Hi everyone.
First of all My technical knowledge is almost nonexistent, but I must say this: MSI should release some kind of optimization values for these models, or at least bring a BIOS update accordingly.Or whatever needs to do :(
I bought a MSI Vector GP68HX 13VH-055TR i9-13980HX 32 GB 1 TB SSD RTX4080 at 11-12-2023 and I couldn't solve the overheating problem, I dealt with warranty processes and everything, and they said there was no problem. However, even in the lowest graphics games, my processor was burning (even in Solitaire), and I couldn't enjoy a single game because it was constantly lagging and the fan noise was unbelievable. Finally, when the warranty expired, I decided to undervolt. Now, without reaching 80 degrees and even with the fans not fully up, I can play Witcher 3 on ultra settings at 100-120 fps without any lag (RayTracting off).

First, get help from someone experienced in this matter. I was a bit scared because I lacked knowledge, but it was really getting to me that I decided to do whatever it took.

MSI has released new BIOS and CPU drivers for the end of 2025. I noticed them the other day and it gave me hope. I updated them, but the result was still the same. :( I decided to undervolt my laptop. I used Intel XTU for this.

I tried so many times, I made so many mistakes. Finally, I settled on these settings.

These are the values I got as a result. I hope it will be useful for you too.

200A
-0.150V offset
PL1=PL2= 60W
42x-40x-38x-35x stepped ratio

Average 80 degrees, instantaneous max 85 degrees, Cinebench score 18328

So far I haven't experienced any problems. But if I experience crashing issues, I can lower it to -0.125V.

To use these models comfortably and without complaining about high fan speeds, you should get help from someone who knows undervolting well.

I apologize for the Google Translate English. I hope it's helpful.

I'm already using laptop cooler stand. Thank you for your recommendation. @emrete ☺️

Where can I find the settings please? Can you post a photo ? Thanks.
