I'm trying to enable undervolting on my laptop, but so far the steps I took haven't helped. I disabled CFG LOCK at 0x3E and Overclocking Lock at 0xDA, but nothing changed. I checked my BIOS version using a tutorial without analyzing it myself, and it didn’t match what I expected. The temperatures are high, especially on the CPU, often reaching 95°C or more during intense gaming, which isn't safe.

Intel added undervolt protection, stopping runtime changes. You can adjust BIOS and turn it off, or change settings in BIOS to enable it.

I found a solution by restoring the BIOS to its original settings and turning off the specific offsets. Now the undervolting is working perfectly.
