How to UNDERVOLT your Laptop (and make it faster! | The Tech Chap

Hey Chaps - hope you like the video! (would be awesome if you could watch until the end!) - Let me know if you give undervolting a go, and if you see much difference! 😉

[@othinus]

Do I have to set up the undervolting everytime I power on my laptop? Will this have a noticable improvement on more low end CPUs like the Pentium Silver n5000(I live in the Philippines where laptops/PCs are atleast 35% more expensive).

[@gingerreilly]

[@indominous_rexx3806]

If power throttling is on what does it mean.

[@brickmissing8295]

If the chip you're driving is a constant power device then dropping the voltage will simply increase the current demand. This will increase the current draw on the battery, reducing lifetime and increasing heat. For many circuits a higher voltage and lower current are desirable.

[@Venomonomonom]

Important. I wish someone hd told me this earlier. My told me about lifetime reduce. It was such a pain trying to use guides w throttlestop too. And now i can't uninstall it! Would love to know if my MSI GP66 Leopard should have higher voltage and lower current.

[@ozymandias8523]

I saw people need to underclock as well so the cpu doesn't use the free headroom for boosting the clockspeed and draining more battery.

[@agiverreviga4592]

XTU is not ideal. It can help you decide by how much you need to undervolt without crashing the system, but I found that the undervolt setting reverts back occasionally. That's why using ThrottleStop and Task Scheduler is the best way to undervolt.

[@Thetechchap]

true - you do have to make sure XTU is always running (at least in the background)

You just help a lot of people understand because of this. I already know how to do this but before it was a nightmare .

[@Hennessy198]

Just a small tip. Undervolting is useful for 90% of the CPUs out there, except in the case of low power draw CPUs (like the U series from intel). If you have a U processor, you’re better off just not wasting the time trying to do this. Power wise, they’re already insanely low draw so you really shouldn’t have any heat problems even on the thinnest of laptops, and they’re normally always near their voltage minimums already, so any difference you might gain will be minuscule, while there’s a higher risk for BSoDs and just general instability.

Hey, great video and made undervolting seems much easier than other videos about it. Just a quick note -0.100 mv seems too much for laptops especially if it's running one of intel 8th gen U chips as from my testings my laptop was running fine when it's connected to power source but as soon as i removed the power connector it crashed immediately. So I would recommend to undervolt to 0.05 mv if you don't want to do stress test and from my testing everything ran fine on both battery and when the laptop is connected to a power source.

I feel it needs to be said that newer CPUs can usually be undervolted more than older (low power) ones. My haswell 4300u can only run with -0.085v. If you have an older low power chip be a bit more conservative with the initial undervolt. might save some frustration.

Hi, I have two questions to this, as I am pretty new to tweaking notebooks in that manner (actually in the instance I purchased an XPS 15).

Lower voltage gives your cpu more headrooms to reach higher clockspeeds without heating, so now you're consuming more energy, you should try to lower the clockspeed as well(underclocking) if that's a problem.

What about battery life? You mentioned that undervolting can potentially increase battery life in the video. Any results on that?

Both don't support my cpu, IDK why but my laptop doesn't have a brand name in (it's called "Quad-core processor") and it has a 1.4 ghz.

This may be a dumb question. But are the undervolting changes being saved in the hardware somehow? Or is it saved in Windows? What I want to know is if it my hardware still will be undervolted after reinstalling Windows.

Hey man. I have the XPS 15 i7-9750H Would you recommend using Throttlestop? not sure if XTU is compatible..

[@GravayMan]

I noticed that your laptop is using an i7-8750H processor... will XTU still work with this processor? It doesn't seem to be listed in list of compatible product(s)/processors on the download page. Thanks for your response.

Hi there, i have a ROG strix G17, may i ask whats the difference between undervolting using the application youre mentioning, and undervolting by going into my bios when i boot my laptop?

my MSI is 4 years and a bit and i recently got into it as i have issues thermal throttling, i ended up at -0.85mV and even if it's still struggling i dig run cinebench and average went from 2.860MHz to 3.400MHz over a 10min run. and a score from 5221 to 6772.

Should we have to do this evry time when we game Or once will it be permanent Will it harm the cpu components

[@PetersonBlanc]

great video, I was able to complete your steps on almost all my laptop except for my 2012 Macbook Air, it doesn't have a core voltage offset option, so I am wondering if I have any other ways pf changing it within Intel ETU?
