Hi people, need your help with with undervolting my second hand DELL XPS 15 9570. Rather than jumping straight into it I thought it would be best to ask first and get to know a bit more 
Firstly. I will mostly use my laptop for school/university work. There´s some pretty hefty CAD apps that we need to use and I´d just hate rapid heating and fan noise. I´ll also play a bit, but not games that require alot.
1) I am aware DELL fucked us up and removed the option to Undervolt. Having BIOS 1.27 Version I have to downgrade to atleast 1.15 ( I have read), but is downgrading BIOS dangerous? Does it affect programs/apps?
2) When all is set with BIOS versions and I can start using Throttlestop - which offset voltage do I put? Is there a like a standard/safe/best offset voltage which is good for 8750H?
I am not much for stressing/testing/overloading the system (laziness).
And just to be 100% I change the offset voltage in both CPU Cache and CPU Core right?
VBS is not running
3) I read that disabling or enabling Speed Shift EPP doesn´t really do much that noticeably. So just ignore it?
4) I also saw somewhere that configuring the MSI Afterburner can help with the DELL problems (fan/heat) aswell. My laptop has the GeForce GTX 1050 TI max Q - where do I set the nodes on the Voltage Curve?? I´ve seen some say 900 and others 1500.
Are there any more configurations, that aren´t extremely difficult that I could apply? It´s my first time really looking into stuff like this ://
Here are pictures of my FIVR and TPL windows:
Just realized I cant Unlock Adjustable Voltage, I am gonna attempt to follow https://brendangreenley.com/undervo...hermals-battery-life-and-speed/#cpu-undervolt. (FAILED), coudlnt access an important link within the guide.
Thank you for reading and helping
