How to reduce voltage for CPU and iGPU using Universal X86 Utility
How to reduce voltage for CPU and iGPU using Universal X86 Utility
I'm used to working with Intel components, which is why I know how to adjust the overclocking settings with ThrottleStop. I tried to lower the temperature of my dad's laptop, but it turns out ThrottleStop doesn't work with AMD systems. After looking around, I've chosen Universal X86 Utility, though I haven't found any good guides. Should I just set the power limit or are there other settings I should check? (I'm not sure what those codes mean—I've never used ThrottleStop before.)
I prefer this tool over Ryzen Master because others have had issues with it, and no one has complained about Universal X86 Utility.
Determine the make, model and SKU for your father's laptop. If you can use Ryzen Master's Curve Optimizer, try it out; opinions vary, even among users. For APUs, this guide might help: https://www.reddit.com/r/ZephyrusG15/com...0hs6900hs/
Sorry I don't understand these automated Overclocking programs or the GUI interfaces.
Is this just the name of how the CMOS/BIOS interface appears when you visit your specific motherboard?
Back in my day (get off my LAWN!!!) we manually entered the BIOS/CMOS and tweaked the voltages and timings for everything. It was much more time-consuming and required a solid understanding of what you were doing, plus reading the motherboard manual.
If you're using a GUI or program, I'd recommend going straight into the BIOS to adjust things yourself—you'll get more control and fewer bugs.
Well, it seems the original post doesn't list a specific model or make of the laptop. If it's intended for gaming or enthusiast use, the BIOS/CMOS might offer those settings. If not, perhaps it's better to avoid overclocking. 😊
But I think he can look at the manufacturer's website and check their recommendations.
