Need help with undervolt settings - ThrottleStop

[zizou]

My system information:
HP Omen 17-w041nd
i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz
GeForce GTX 965M 4GB
16GB DDR4
512GB SSD M.2 nvme
BIOS-version/date Insyde F.53, 12-12-2019
Wattage: 120 Watt

The problem:
When im playing games i hit temperatures of 90° Celsius on my CPU. In the screenshot below you can see the game "Kingdoms and Castles" running at 90° Celsius. I am not comfortable running these temperatures for my laptop. In the other screenshots below you can see my ThrottleStop settings. I copied these settings from another forum but with no result in decreased temperature. (https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...t-my-i7-6700-hq-cpu-with-throttlestop.243385/)

The question:
Can someone help me if i am using the right settings in ThrottleStop to lower my laptop temperature? I am fairly new to undervolting and don't want to mess too much with the settings in case my laptop crashes.

I would start with a offset of -50 and see if the temps are good enough then. If you decrease voltage too much you’ll lose performance and it will be unstable on top.

So where it says -140.6 at offset voltage i should try -50? Thanks for the tip.

Also, i read on another forum that undervolting my cpu is basically pointless because of the "plundervolt exploit fix". Do you know anything about that?

Thanks for your reply and suggestion by the way!

Sounds like he is saying that the undervolt won’t work, but I would just observe if anything changes with the temperatures etc. - no problem.
