Hello, thank you for reaching out. I'm just starting with gaming laptops and not much familiar with them before. My PC tends to heat up to 85°C to 95°C during games and drops to around 75°C when using Chrome, which is quite intense. I’m looking for ways to reduce those temperatures without sacrificing performance, especially on the CPU side (Intel i9, which I suspected from afar). If anyone can guide me or suggest methods to undervolt the system in BIOS, it would be a huge help. Appreciate your support!

I've applied Intel XTU to lower the CPU voltage, which is a useful method with straightforward adjustments.

I try this cooler myself—it works great, though it takes up some space and costs a bit for a fan cooler.

The cooling pad works well when placed on your lap, though it may feel better on a flat surface such as a table. It doesn’t have much information about XTU, but you can adjust temperatures during installation. Follow the instructions to set the desired heat levels.

When you install it, it says incompatible. If this is important, your CPU details are: 1st Gen Intel® Core™ i9-11900H. Can I lower the voltage in BIOS?

I'm not familiar with that error message so yeah, I think the BIOS would be more convenient. Given that it's an ROG laptop, you should have a pretty decent UI right? If the laptop's BIOS looks like their desktop motherboard BIOS layout, the voltage settings should be in the "AI tuner" or "AI overclock" menu.

You should set the number to the appropriate value based on your needs.

For a negative adjustment, begin around -0.05 to -0.1 volts

Core voltage offset can't include decimal points.

It appears the setting is in millivolts by default, so simply input 50
