Assistance with reducing voltage settings.
Correct. You should only lower the core and cache voltage. These are the key adjustments to make. Are you able to maintain stability at -170 mV? That’s a significant margin for most users. It seems you’re not pushing the CPU beyond safe limits, which likely explains your success. If stability is confirmed, everything looks fine. If you prefer not to use XTU, you can attempt to apply a similar -170 mV negative offset in the BIOS settings. Did this adjustment help lower your temperatures? You might want to run a consistent test like Cinebench at the standard voltage first, then at -170 mV for comparison. Temperatures should noticeably decrease.
I experienced a crash at -170 mV an hour ago; everything was normal yesterday, so I added another +5 mV and will continue testing to check if my CPU remains stable. Yes, lowering the voltage significantly improved temperatures—from 90°C under load to 70°C in idle, and from 50°C to 30°C. This might be due to the AIO and fans. Today’s outside temperature is 31°C, expected to reach 35°C in three hours. Thanks for your advice—I’ll keep monitoring and adjust the voltage in steps of 5 or 10 mV if needed.
