8 volts without overheating and going to the dreaded 300mhx (sometimes to 900mhx) in my case. (so expect few tries) The GPU can take about. Now in my case and this has to be tried for each board and your ambient temperature. so in MS FS 2020 it will go to safe mode in less then a minute if the laptop is already warm. there is a curve that sets the voltage based on gpu frequency and the curve maxes out at about 1.2v which the laptop is completely incapable of cooling. The work around has to do with stupidity in clock - voltage setting for the GPU.
I could investigate, but I have a workaround so I do not have the incentive to do so now. There is a way to under-volt the CPU (there is solution on the net ), unfortunately the same in not certain for the GPU. the laptop is great, but unfortunately the throttling on GPU just does not work and that is sad.

bios patch the processor works well and throttles nicely. The lack of functional throttling on the GPU is the issue now. As I have stated above loosing few percent on frame rate form 50+ in country side or 30in new York is not real issue for flight simulator, but dropping to 10-12 in newYork by disabling the turbo boost or dropping to 10 with the GPU at 300Mhz is an issue for a expensive gaming hardware. Which defeats the purpose of having a GAMING laptop.

But turning off the turbo boost makes the game in this case ms flight simulator 2020 unusable. Hi, my experience - part of previous thread: Turning of the intel turbo boost was a first thing that I have personally tried and reinstalled almost everything with exception of windows. Regardless of the fix, it's clearly affecting a lot of people with this generation of laptop as well as the previous generation. At least one user was able to get his replaced and that resolved his issue (he had a defective motherboard, GPU, and wifi adapter). Some people have had success with uninstalling Alienware Command Center and Overclock Tools (though then you don't get macro keys, performance mode, or control over keyboard/ambient lighting). Some people have had success limiting the GPU clock speed with MSI Afterburner and turning off Intel Turbo Boost. If this is some sort of hardware limitation where the GPU is pulling back to protect itself, I'd expect it would happen consistently upon hitting the same temperature or the same voltage every time it occurs. Some users have speculated that it's a voltage issue, but mine seems to trigger generally in the 0.96-0.98V range and there have been long periods of time where the GPU has sat at higher voltages than that without throttling.
At the time the issue occurs, CPU temps are around 75C (disable Intel Turbo Boost in the BIOS to get these more sane temperatures). It's not a thermal issue as the throttling has happened for me in the mid-60C temp range and has occurred all the way up to 78C. See my post regarding this, and the Dell forum post at - a Reddit search for "G7 7700" will also yield a huge number of reports. This is an issue that is apparently affecting a lot of people. That was 7 days ago and since then, I haven't received any response at all, from him or from anyone else at tech support. After we were unsuccessful at getting the issue resolved on the phone, I collected some additional data for him and sent it his way via email. He stated the issue was definitely not heat related and was definitely not normal. I contacted Dell "premium" support via phone and spent over an hour troubleshooting with one of their reps. Anyone who would have run into this issue during beta testing of this laptop before Dell started selling it would NEVER have considered this "normal" or in any way acceptable. and waiting sometimes 24+ hours for each response, they tried to close my ticket, saying "this is normal behavior in response to heat issues". After spending hours troubleshooting with them, collecting GPU logs, etc. I reached out to Dell support via WhatsApp. The issue is erratic but frequent - sometimes it takes close to an hour to occur and other times it happens within a few minutes. Almost all games, even ones almost a decade old, trigger the GPU to throttle down to 300MHz and bring frame rates crashing to 10-15fps.
