Hi, After enjoying my laptop with an i5-8250U and Throttlestop turned on, I finally assembled my first desktop PC. I’m using an Intel i5-12400F with an MSI H610M-E motherboard. The case features a mesh layout with four fans—perfect for air cooling. The CPU stays cool under light use, but it can heat up to 98°C during heavy tasks like Cinebench or 4K video editing. I’ve applied a decent amount of MX-4 thermal paste, so that shouldn’t be an issue. I attempted to lower the voltage, but it didn’t work. Intel XTU changes the voltage setting, Throttlestop doesn’t support it, and I can’t undervolt it in BIOS either (though I’m not sure about that). Could you help? Please share any screenshots from the BIOS, TS, or XTU if they’ll be useful. Thanks.

I don’t believe Intel allows full voltage control on the H610 board, which means you might be in a tough spot. You could consider a more affordable aftermarket cooling solution.

What about your temperature under different tasks? The Intel stock cooler works just fine for quick spikes like gaming, but it struggles with long-term usage.

The issue involves MSI M100A. Under real usage, performance typically ranges from 70 to 85°C. 40°C when idle.

Yes, you can adjust the CPU core offset voltage in the BIOS. It's possible to switch from the automatic setting to manual configuration.

It functions in BIOS by pressing the '-' and '+' keys instead of entering values, though results are limited. Applying a -50 mV undervolt reduced performance significantly. Intel reportedly disabled this feature following the Plundervolt issue.

Eliminando la función de desvoltaje bajo de los procesadores principales de Intel, la compañía pudo asignar esta característica exclusivamente a sus CPUs de gama alta y a las unidades móviles HX sin restricciones. Plundervolt habría generado preocupación, pero en realidad Intel no eliminó el control del voltaje de todos los chips. En cambio, parecía buscar aumentar sus ganancias al dirigir entusiastas hacia modelos más caros. La Protección contra desvoltaje es otra excelente innovación de Intel. Incluso un pequeño descenso de 5 mV en el BIOS puede reducir la velocidad a la mitad si se activa. Si Intel hubiera invertido en mejorar sus procesadores, su valor podría haber subido más del uno por ciento en el último año.
