Hi !
Basically... Title.
I've discovered underclocking with my current laptop a few month ago and it saved me (or more accuratly my gaming pleasure). I have an i7-4700HQ (yep, it's old) and undercloking/volting made the temp go from ~95° to ~85°, limiting a lot the throttle.
But I was thinking of buying a new laptop and saw that new Windows updates seemed to lock out theses options for some CPU.
I've got my eyes on a MSI or Dell laptop, respectively with an i7-9750h and an i7-10750H .
Can theses CPU be underclocked ? If not, what CPU on laptop can still be undervolted ? Should I go look for a Ryzen ? Does it really matter ?
Thanks !
