The external AC power adapter must be connected to the Inspiron G5 15 5500 when gaming. It is possible that the changes made by MSI Afterburner were retained. Be sure to reset the BIOS to factory defaults. Install the latest BIOS and Chipset drivers and our OEM GPU driver. The CPU/GPU temperatures while running the Flight Simulator are technically within manufacturer specifications. Here is the online Service Manual if you decide to disassemble and clean/reapply thermal paste.
Hi, I am experiencing overheating issues with my G5 15 5500 recently and I want to try to stop my CPU and GPU from overclocking. I overclocked them before using MSI Afterburner and it gets hot. Now, even after I completely removed MSI Afterburner out of my laptop and restarted it several times, the CPU is still clocking it 4.00 GHz or more, noting that the base clock of the i7-10750H is only 2.60 GHz. I don't know about the GPU but it stays at 88 degrees Celsius while gaming and 92 degrees for the CPU.
Inspiron G5 15 5500, stop MSI Afterburner CPU and GPU overclocking?
