Hi everyone, I have a graphics card that works with Throttlestop. It is set down to -40mv to save some battery life. Since I don't use it for gaming, it only powers my screen. I am not going to go lower yet because I heard bad things could happen if you do too much damage and cause an error screen. But I have never seen any problems so far. Should it be safe to keep it at -40mv just to save power or is that risky for the future?

I think getting a lot of money back from turning off power isn't worth it. It's better to just leave things alone instead.

I'm pretty sure saving power isn't going to make a big difference. I wouldn't bother trying.

A little extra voltage won't save you much money, even if you keep the machine on all the time. Just leave it built that way.
