Okay, I hope the title is slightly better, but here goes the question. I have to say I thank Throttlestop for what it does. Without it I couldn't get my temps a little lower than they are. But is it better to do the same thing inside the BIOS than through software?

Do we have a place for undervolting as we do Overvolt?
 
you might be better off watching youtube videos on the matter, just youtube "how to undervolt your cpu" and watch a few videos. jayz2cents did one recently i know. bios can do it on some boards, yeah. i don't think it matters either way, but some you tube videos might have better insight for you
 
I can do it on my board, but I have to move a jumper on it first. I'm not sure what the name of the jumper is, but it actually deals with overclocking. I don't want to overclock, just under volt my CPU.
Thanks
 
Well there's definitely more parameters that could be adjusted from the BIOS though most wouldn't need to be changed
Using a software is easier for an average user
In the BIOS undervolting and overvolting is the same thing: Adjusting the voltage
