Adjust voltage settings on your Intel Core i7 9750H processor.
Adjust voltage settings on your Intel Core i7 9750H processor.
Use the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to adjust settings. Try changing core voltage offset values from -0.165 to -0.125. After some changes, the temperature remains high at 94°C even with full load. Check if you should modify the turbo boost power max setting as well. Your system is running with 60W turbo boost and 90W short power max.
Use the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to adjust settings. Try changing core voltage offset values and check if temperatures drop. After some attempts, you're still seeing high temps around 94°C despite setting boost limits. Make sure turbo boost power max is correctly configured and consider updating your BIOS if needed. Your system has an i7 9750h, RTX 2060, and 16GB RAM.
Are you confirming the voltage deviation is real? Are temperatures lower than expected or higher than normal? The 8th and 9th gen models tend to run hot unless cooling is adequate, so you're facing a thermal constraint. Keep an eye on CPU power consumption—run HWinfo64 alongside XTU for better insights. On a throttled 8750H, I easily hit -100mV on core, cache, and SA, which reduced power draw by roughly 7-8W under load. You might need to spend time refurbishing your laptop or consider liquid metalling if you can't achieve the desired results. Personally, I went that route and my CPU and GPU temperatures stayed in the 80s.
It functions though it carries some risk. If you're comfortable with that, remember to use the throttle stop carefully.
Undervolting offers genuine benefits without risk, unlike overclocking. It provides substantial speed gains if you consider it carefully.
What voltage are you receiving? Also, is this a laptop? If it is, then the size of the laptop might be a bigger concern, so keep track of what you're using it for.
if you don't have good power delivery that risk is always present, not just when undervolting. I think we're maybe derailing this thread a little, though
Well actually, it seems both of us might be right to some extent.
