Hi! So I'm tweaking my laptop a bit to run as cool as possible while still performing at its best. I've already changed the stock thermal paste and have been messing about with undervolting my cpu. My specs are (it's one of those Clevo laptops):
i7-10870h
RTX 3080 at 105w tdp
1tb WD Black NVMe
32gb ram
I'm currently running a stable -150mv on the cpu core and -100mv on the cache on my laptop, and honestly didn't have any issues running it at -200mv but I'll run -150mv for a few weeks first. My cpu used to thermal throttle when it ran above 100w but after undervolting it and changing the thermal paste it's now sitting at 85c under heavy load and during the TS Bench (80c with the fans full blast but that sounds like a jet taking off) and a score of 3850 in Cinebench R20. I haven't touched the tpl settings yet so I was wondering if I could do anything there to lower my temps while gaming? I wouldn't mind a 5% performance loss if it meant I could run the fans quieter without it thermal throttling.
