msi gf63 11uc undervolting problem and curiosity

So in the last days I tried to fix the thermal throttle, high temps and low fps by using MSI afterburn

I found that undervolting is the way but I have some problems (I think so):

  1. The first problem is that when i watch tutorials the guy`s gpu mhz is 1700. Mine is 1057. Why?

  2. There is literally no difference applied

  3. When I game my gpu mhz go to something like 800-900. Is that ok? Should I change as quick as possible my thermal paste? Is the thermal paste the main problem??

Tutorial I watched

PNY 5070 OC Heating and Undervolt

I built my rig 20 days ago. Ryzen 7600X 16 GB ram GPU mentioned and a 1440p monitor.

Currently there's a heatwave going on in my country and the AVG room temp is around 30-34°c. So my GPU was hitting 80°c constantly on every game I played like cyberpunk ultra RT or SOTTR.

So a lot of ppl told me to undervolt it. So I set my GPU curve to 2852mhz/950 mv . Now the temps are 67-72 (70°c average).

My avg FPS in sottr dropped from 172 to 167 FPS. Cyberpunk still runs smoothly tho I noticed some minor frame drops.

I also set a fan curve from YouTube.

Can anyone tell me if I did it right and should I improve or change anything for maximum FPS at a lower temp?

Gigabyte B760M GAMING X WIFI6E GEN5 , can I use this mobo to undervolt i5-12400f?

Hey,

so, I bought this mother: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B760M-GAMING-X-WIFI6E-GEN5

question 1: can I use this motherboard to undervolt my i5-12400f through bios?

question 2: can I use this motherboard for overclocking the 12400f, or does it require a "K" processor? like let's say I replace the 12400f later on down the road to a 12900k?

I have never done undervolting before, but I saw many youtube videos on the subject, and I think it's a cool idea to push a CPU that's already efficient to even further efficiency.

I have the option to return the motherboard in 14-30 days thanks to EU consumer protection laws, but otherwise the motherboard has all the features I need.

Acer Nitro throttling down to 1.7 GHz (THERMAL flag in ThrottleStop) despite premium repaste and solid mounting. Need help!

Hey guys,I'm facing a really frustrating issue with my Acer Nitro laptop. During gaming, my CPU frequency immediately drops and gets locked at 1.7 GHz. ThrottleStop shows a solid red THERMAL flag, but the laptop shouldn't be overheating based on what I've done.Here is what I've already done to fix it:Completely cleaned the cooling system.Applied premium Honeywell PTM7950 phase change pad on the CPU/GPU.Used Laird Tputty 607 liquid thermal putty on the VRM and VRAM.Tightened all heatsink screws perfectly in the correct order .The weirdest part:The heatsink is mounted so tightly that it feels glued to the board (due to the vacuum effect from the Laird putty and Honeywell pad), so there is 100% no air gap between the die and the copper. Yet, the system instantly triggers a Thermal limit the moment a game loads.Could this be a glitching EC controller/sensor, a bugged VRM sensor, or some weird Acer power delivery issue? Has anyone dealt with this "stuck at 1.7 GHz" thermal bug on Acer laptops?Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks, bros!

i7-10870H severely throttled (~18W max) after BSODs and Cinebench scores extremely low, GPU normal (ROG Strix G512LV)

Hi!

I have a problem with my CPU. Before, it used to run games normally, and now it barely runs Windows…

My processor is an i7-10870H, with an RTX 2060 and 16 GB of RAM. My laptop is a ROG Strix G512LV.

The problem is that before I could play normally. One day, I had a blue screen that caused one of the fans to stop working (the GPU fan). I took it to a technician about 9 months ago, and he repaired it and also replaced the thermal paste on the CPU and cleaned the dust (he didn’t touch the GPU because it uses liquid metal).

About 5 months ago, I could still play normally, but then I had another blue screen because the power went out while Windows was updating, and my laptop also has a bad battery. That forced me to wipe everything and reinstall Windows from scratch. After downloading all the proper drivers and installing a game from Steam, I noticed the game was running extremely poorly. I decided to wipe everything again and reinstall WINDOWS, making sure to install both the laptop drivers and NVIDIA drivers correctly.

I haven’t installed any games yet, but when I run CPU tests in CINEBENCH, I get extremely low scores. The GPU works normally, but the CPU is the problem, and it’s very bad — I only get around 177 points (basically worse than a 3rd gen i5).

When I use HWINFO64, I noticed that during CINEBENCH the temperatures are very high (92–98°C) and power consumption is very low (16–19W), even when switching between silent or turbo mode.

I downloaded THROTTLESTOP to monitor it, and I see BD PROCHOT checked. In the limits section, I see that in “Performance” mode, but “Silent” in Armoury Crate, I get TVB and Thermal on core (yellow), and EDP OTHER on ring. The CPU also reaches 78–85°C at idle, and frequencies vary between 2600 MHz and 3700 MHz.

When I set “Performance” mode and “Turbo” mode in Armoury Crate, the same indicators appear, but they flicker between yellow and red. Temperatures go up to 93–98°C, frequencies go up to 4300–4700 MHz, even when the laptop is basically idle (around 7% usage).

When I start Cinebench, CPU usage goes to 92–97%, but frequency drops to 1400–1700 MHz, temperatures stay around 95°C+, and power stays between 15 and 19W.

What do you think the problem could be? PLEASE HELP ME :(

I7-14700KF + GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX (F0a BIOS) + DEEPCOOL AK620 DIGITAL SE. Help to undervolt, please.

i7-14700KF + Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX (F0a BIOS) + Deepcool AK620 Digital SE. Need help with undervolting

Hello everyone,

I recently built a new system:

CPU: Intel Core i7-14700KF
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX
BIOS: F0a
Cooler: Deepcool AK620 Digital SE

I'd like to undervolt the CPU to reduce temperatures while keeping performance as close to stock as possible.

I'm still learning the Gigabyte BIOS settings and I'm not sure which approach is best:

• Vcore Offset
• LLC (Load-Line Calibration)
• IA CEP
• AC/DC Loadline
• Dynamic Vcore (DVID)

I'd appreciate advice from people using a similar setup. If possible, please share:

• Your BIOS settings
• Undervolt values (offset)
• LLC level
• Cinebench R23 scores
• Temperatures before and after undervolting

I can provide BIOS screenshots and HWiNFO sensor data if needed.

Thanks in advance for any help!

i7-14700KF + Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX (BIOS F0a) + Deepcool AK620 Digital SE. Нужна помощь с андервольтом

Всем привет.

Недавно собрал систему:

Процессор: Intel Core i7-14700KF
Материнская плата: Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX
BIOS: F0a
Кулер: Deepcool AK620 Digital SE

Хочу сделать безопасный андервольт процессора для снижения температур без заметной потери производительности.

Сейчас только разбираюсь в настройках BIOS Gigabyte и не до конца понимаю, какой способ лучше использовать:

• Vcore Offset
• Load-Line Calibration (LLC)
• IA CEP
• AC/DC Loadline
• Dynamic Vcore (DVID)

Буду благодарен владельцам похожих систем, если поделитесь:

• Настройками BIOS
• Значением андервольта (Offset)
• Уровнем LLC
• Результатами Cinebench R23
• Температурами до и после андервольта

При необходимости могу приложить скриншоты BIOS и данные HWiNFO.

Заранее спасибо за помощь!

Undervolt help

Hi everyone,
I’m completely new to undervolting and would like some advice from people who have experience with Lenovo Legion laptops.
My laptop is a Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IAX10 (2025) with:
Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX
NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU
32GB RAM
My goals are:
Lower CPU and GPU temperatures
Reduce fan noise
Improve efficiency and battery life when possible
Maintain good gaming performance and system stability
Since I’m a beginner, I’m looking for safe starting points for both CPU and GPU undervolting. I’m especially interested in settings that other Legion Pro 7 owners have tested successfully.
A few questions:
What CPU undervolt values would you recommend as a starting point?
Is there a preferred method for undervolting the RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU?
What software should I use for CPU and GPU undervolting?
How do you properly test stability after undervolting?
Are there any Legion-specific BIOS settings I should know about before getting started?
Any guides, screenshots, or personal experiences with this model would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
