The laptop CPU won’t be lowered further.
I just changed the BIOS on my laptop (Asus ROG Strix GL503GE - i7-8750h, 1050ti). Now when I attempt to undervolt the CPU in ThrottleStop, the controls are stuck and won’t let me adjust anything. I saw a message about this change and wondered if there’s another method. According to the update notes, undervolting isn’t supported anymore. If you want to revert, you could try reinstalling the BIOS from an older version—like the one from 2018—but be careful and check compatibility first.
I attempted to search for information about your laptop, but no relevant results appeared. Would you like me to explore alternative ways to identify it?
@kristalshards Here is the method that works on many Dell laptops to unlock CPU voltage control. https://brendangreenley.com/undervolting...-undervolt Many modern laptops run at over 90°C while the fans constantly scream. Undervolting the CPU reduces power consumption and heat and makes poorly designed laptops with inadequate cooling almost bearable. That is usually why people do this. Many MSI laptops include an advanced BIOS so you can easily unlock voltage control. This works great on 11th Gen CPUs too like the 11800H. Undervolting is still alive and well. Users have been using software for at least 15 years to undervolt their laptops. If Asus was more enthusiast friendly, they could easily add a simple option to unlock CPU voltage control to their BIOS like MSI has done.
I get the main idea behind it, I’ve done similar things before. I was wondering why he’s doing it—his temperatures are high? I own a Gigabyte laptop and the temps stay under control during load, so I don’t think undervolting adds value. Not sure why people aren’t allowed to tweak settings freely; maybe they’re trying to hide something. If that’s true, they could just release BIOS updates for enthusiasts who know what they’re doing.
