HWINFO Thermal Throttling (HTC) and Thermal Throttling (PROCHOT EXT) Maximum Value is "YES"

[EnZone.G]

Hello Everyone,

I hope someone can help.
My laptop specs is:
Acer Nitro AN515-46-R8H3
Ryzen 7 6800h
RTX 3070
32gb ddr5 ram

This is newly bought.
Undervolted GPU using afterburner.
Since my CPU R7 6800h cannot be undervolted. I just reduced the performance using power plan.



My question is why "sometimes" the Thermal Throttling (HTC) and Thermal Throttling (PROCHOT EXT) Maximum Value is "YES" on the HWINFO monitoring even though every time I play games my
maximum temp is always at 70c at peak. please see the SS below of my HWINFO. is this a bug? or there is something wrong on my laptop? Thank you.

This was answered in other threads here - that flag might also be triggered based on external sensors (skin temperature).

I see, I kept looking on different threads and unfortunately was unable to find it. So does it mean my laptop is goods and this is normal? Thanks!

It should be OK, it's commonly observed.
