Set the CPU core and CPU cache to -50.8 mV. Test to make sure your computer is stable.
There are lots of YouTube videos to show you how to use ThrottleStop to undervolt.
Never update the bios for your laptop. This can block CPU voltage control.

You're right, I've looked at the videos, but I wanted to bring it up because I was thinking of doing it wrong.
I have set the cpu cache and cpu core to -50.8, should I test it with TS Bench?
this way

should I test it with TS Bench?
Sure. Play some games too.

Make sure the FIVR monitoring table shows your voltages.

Open Limit Reasons when testing. Find out if your CPU is throttling.

I played some games and the results are as follows

Have you tried to undervolt more than -50 mV? Some computers with 10th Gen CPUs run stable at -75 mV or -100 mV.

Watch Limit Reasons when running TS Bench. Do any boxes turn red when the CPU is loaded? That means the CPU is throttling.

i have tried cpu cache -100 and cpu core -100 the results are as follows

The TS Bench says there were 123 Errors. That means the CPU needs more voltage. Try -75 mV and test for errors. The TS Bench should never report any errors.

should they both have the same value, for example, if I set the cpu cache to -75, would it work if I set the cpu core to -100?

Those two voltages do not have to be set to the same value. Use Cinebench when testing different voltages. Software that uses a lot of AVX instructions might benefit. Just make sure the TS Bench does not report any errors.
 
I've been messing with the settings a little, is there anything wrong right now?

Everything looks good. Is your computer stable with those voltage settings? Have you tried playing a few different games? Stability in games is a good test when undervolting. You can also run the TS Bench 960M and 7680M tests. You do not have to run these tests until completion. Just run them for a few minutes. You can press the Stop button to stop the test at any time. The larger tests are good because they use more memory and might show errors compared to the shorter 120M test. I would try both the 4 Thread and 8 Thread tests.

Your CPU is reaching the thermal throttling temperature. With better cooling, your computer might run a little faster when fully loaded. Without better cooling, there is not much else you can do.

Edit - Check the PL1 and PL2 Clamp boxes if you want to make sure power does not exceed those values. A shorter turbo time value like 8 seconds instead of 28 seconds is usually better for most laptops. If your computer is allowed to run at 75W for 28 seconds, I am sure it is going to overheat. That will trigger constant thermal throttling at 95°C or higher.

I tested it in the game and, as you said, in the bench settings, it did not give an error.can uv be invalid because core and cache have different values?
I'm using mx4 as a thermal paste, I think it's a problem with laptops, is there a thermal paste that you can recommend?

that's how your settings should be, right?

Your undervolt is working correctly. The core and cache do not have to be set to the same value. Some people see better results when using different voltages. You have to test with a program like Cinebench to see if there are any improvements.


If you see the same results when using (-75 mV cache -75 mV core) compared to (-75 mV cache and -125 mV core) then you can leave both of them at -75 mV. Most 8th and 9th Gen CPUs like the 8750H and 9750H reported better results when using different voltage. Here are some Cinebench examples.


I have heard that some people with laptops have bad long term results when using MX4.


I have not tested MX4 in a laptop or any paste for a long time. I have heard that Noctua NT-H2 works well. Do not buy NT-H1.

Hey Ive got a 10300 aswell, im form the uk and have a rtx 2060. Can I use these settings aswell? Also what does powerlimit 4 do? I have mine set to 163 (default) should I make it 0 aswell?
 
Can I use these settings as well?
CPUs are unique. You need to do lots of stability testing to find out what voltages will work best for your CPU.

I prefer to set Power Limit 4 to a value of 0. This tells the CPU to ignore this power limit. Intel CPUs run just fine without needing 101 different reasons to throttle.
 
Hey guys, I got ASUS TUF F15 with i5-10300H and in TS I can't mod anything, except "disable turbo" lol. This means I have locked voltage controls on this laptop?
 
@AleXXX666

Post a screenshot of the FIVR window when you have a question. If ThrottleStop shows Locked at the top middle of the FIVR window then that means the BIOS has locked out CPU voltage control. Do some Google searching. Maybe someone has found a way to unlock this setting in the BIOS.

hello, add me in discord my tag is : czechlover (no numbers) I know a method to unlock undervolt on tuf f15

thanks, i'll think about it if i need to. currently i disable turbo in games but for other general use it's so not so hot to start whimping about.

yes it's definitely locked in bios it's so dumb bios lol here
 
Hola, también tengo un 10300, soy del Reino Unido y tengo una rtx 2060. ¿Puedo usar también estos ajustes? Además, ¿qué hace powerlimit 4? Tengo el mío configurado en 163 (predeterminado), ¿debería hacerlo 0 también?
Hi, I have the same specs, were you able to change values?
Sorry for my english isnt my first language
