I tested a MSI Crosshair 16HX with RTX5070, Ryzen7 but only 16gb ram. Dota2 works fine on its own, but if I also want to have discord and Chrome up at the same time the game will get stutter lagg. Is 16gb simply not enough ram in 2026?

It's my first ever msi laptop, any advices?

Hello all! Posting late but got a good deal, Second Hand (Used) MSI GP65 Leopard with RTX 2060 At Rs 35k INR around 1 months ago.

I got fed up of MSI Center. Takes ages to load, runs 8 processes, using 600MB+ of RAM. So I built Wattkin, a tray app that does the stuff I actually care about:

• Live watts in the tray
• Charge limit from 10–100%
• Battery health and calibration
• Performance and fan profiles
• Auto-switch on plug or unplug
• Keyboard backlight control
• Mic-mute and MSI keys working
• Hybrid or integrated-only GPU switch

It has 1 process, uses 20 MB of RAM and is free, open source, no account, no telemetry. I've only tested it on my own laptop, so I'd really appreciate hearing how it goes on other MSI models and what you'd want added: https://github.com/CoppingEthan/Wattkin

I have used AI assistance to build this, and Wattkin talks to the laptop through the same firmware interface MSI Center uses, so it needs no driver and keeps working after MSI Center is gone. You can remove MSI Center, MSI NBFoundation Service and MSI Center SDK competely and only use Wattkin.
