Hi all,
I am been undervolting my laptop (Acer Nitro 5 515-51) with i7-7700HQ cpu and must say what a great tool. It fixed the temperatures from too hot and suttering when going trottling. Now cpu dont trottling anymore and after hours or whole day gaming max cpu temperature is 83C and GPU temperature of 69C with the room temperature of 20,5 C. Also got higher fps and rock stable.
But my question is, i am playing and experimenting with the voltages. At Trottlestop tool, after reading guides and youtube movies, seems the cpu cache at -151,4 and core -151,4 are rock stable values. And temps went down for like around 10-15 degrees and also did repaste with Artic Silver 5 that i have laying around from my gaming pcs in my past (i am done with such big sized pcs, this laptop feels like im working on an desktop. Very great!)
But i feel theres maybe still room for improvements and i was looking around the net, most of peoples says the cache and core have to set equial the voltages. But there comes, i also read from other persons that also possible to set core higher value instead cache, so i wanted to experiment it. It seems cache of -151,4 is the max, if go higher than -155 then will get BSODs. So for experimenting i tried set higher value of -151,4 for core, did first with steps of -10 but seems i went to -350 and still not BSODs or whatsoever. So i thought maybe is not working and gave bigger steps like -50 and ended up with -1000 mv. I just wonder how this still working with such insane undervolt of core, so i thought maybe isnt working. But it gave me 1 a 2 degrees lower temps and with MSI afterburner i can see the difference between -151,2 and -1000 in voltage line when cpu is stressing, i can see very bit difference between those two voltage values, with -1000 i see the voltage line is bit lowering then with both 151,4 equal. So it is really working, also with AIDA Extreme i did tests 10 minutes with core and cache both on -151,4 mv and 10 min with cache -151,4 and core -1000 and then again 10 min with both same mv and did after again testing 10 min with -151,4 and -1000 and i see difference of 1/2 degrees between such values.
Why do i read on many sites that this have to be equial values? What is the advantage of this?
Is there an option to put more than -1000? Seems for TS is -1000 the max.
And, is there still more room for any improvements?
