Setting Temp Target Lower Than 75°C

Hi,

The question is in the title:

Is there any way to set a temperature target of lower than 75°C ?

I have an Asus TUF FX516 laptop with and RTX3070. Tried many utilities as GPU TWEAK 3, MSI Afterburner and ZOTAC Firestorm, but failed to achieve that goal.
Tried even nvidia-smi.exe, same result. Not interested in tweaking Vbios/flashing/HW modding solutions etc...

Thanks for all who even try to help.

You should be able to reduce temps in afterburner quite easily, but make sure that you select temperature as the priority. There is a tiny arrow between power limit and temperature which you can change. Once you update the settings, click the tick box to enter those settings and then save the profile (you need to unlock the little padlock symbol to save). Works perfectly for me and I have included a screenshot of my settings for profile 1. I do have a different graphics card, but it should work fine for you too. If I want to play a game then a select a different profile, but otherwise Profile 1 keeps the GPU cool in Windows and the fans rarely turn on. I also have set up a custom fan profile, but I have never had an issue with Afterburner. It's great.

Sorry, the screenshot was for my Profile 3. For profile 1, I have set power to just 25% and max temp to 65C (temp is the priority).
