Undervolting HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop

[StarMember]

Greetings, I bought this pavilion laptop last year, it comes with a GDDR6 1650 + i7-10750H. Months ago I did undervolt my cpu but since last week I've been getting a lot of BSOD and freezes when gaming. I haven't updated throttlestop or updated the BIOS. I hope I can get some help since I want this laptop to work for at least 3 more years. I'm attaching pics of my throttlestop settings.

BSOD's and freezes are a really bad sign

Reset things to default and make sure things are stable and not overheating, before tweaking again

Thank you for the answer. Yeah, I'm really worried that these bluescreens could cause any damage to my ssd. What value should I start with? I saw a dude saying that these 10th gen i7's should start with both core and cache at -100mv. Any suggestions mate? Are all the other options well set? Like in the TPL tab and speed shift? I'm no expert.

Well... is the system stable with no tweaks?

You need to start at stock, and slowly work down in small values

try:
-75mV for Cache
-150mV for Core

Yep, with 0 offset everything is ok mate, the most stable values I've found are both core and cache with -90 mv offset

try:
-75mV for Cache
-150mV for Core

I'll test those values in some games and tools and tell you then how it keeps up.

try:
-75mV for Cache
-150mV for Core

So well, I tested those values and it worked!, but now my question is, If I want to undervolt further, should I increase both core and cache by -5 mv until I get a bluescreen?, or just the core, or just the cache. Ty

Test until you get a BSOD, then run at least -10mv higher.

Just because its stable now, wont mean those values are going to be stable as the battery/charger ages, or even the VRM's on the mobo (or something simple like hotter ambients) - always give a little bit of wiggle room.

I don't think you can go much lower than those values but you can try I guess, just double the core undervolt compare to cache, for example
-80mV Cache
-160mV Core
That is the stable undervolt for my 10875H

The values you gave me I think are stable enoug, because whenever I test any undervolt in x tool, I don't get any crashes or bsod even at full cpu load, but when I do gaming, boop! bsod. But with those values, I played gtav for about an hour, then went online and no crashes or bsod. Gonna keep pushing those -10mv til I get a bsod. Thank you mate

-80mV Cache

I see, well for now my laptop is stable with -165mv core and -83mv for cache. Thanks for the help

Gaming uses more power than anything else, at varying power levels - those changes as the power is balanced between CPU, GPU, RAM etc is when instability will show up

slow and steady wins the race, if it's not 100% stable it's not worth it
