Thanks @SpyderTracks Created my own power plan and even then I can’t change anything other than when the laptop sleeps etc. I wonder if it’s maybe that the Control Centre software that the laptop comes with where you can alter the fan speed, keyboard colours and performance settings (‘office’...

Hi all, hope someone can help. When I go to 'edit power plan' and then 'change advanced power settings' I only get one power plan available called 'Balanced [Active]' and no more on the dropdown. I had thought you could set different ones? Any ideas why this would be? thanks

Funnily enough I was just looking at a guide for this. Looks a little more user friendly than Throttlestop but will check the basics first as you say before trying to tweak anything via software. Thanks for your help - much appreciated

Interesting, thanks @SpyderTracks . CPU does support undervolting (Intel® Core™ i7 Eight Core Processor 11800H (2.4GHz, 4.6GHz Turbo) and has run hot out of the box. Understandable given it’s a thin laptop with a fast CPU and GPU (3080) but on your advice, will check how good the pasting is...

Hi all, I was wondering whether it’s better to undervolt a laptop CPU via the Control Centre application that comes preinstalled on PCS laptops or whether better to use a third party application like Throttlestop…or no difference? Does using one show up in the other app or completely independent...

@sck451 really appreciate your response and explaining it to me. Safe to say I value the protection is gives so won’t be turning it off but just wanted to check it seemed a normal amount to be using. Thanks again.

Hi, I hope someone might be able to help me. I've noticed that Antimalware Service Executable is constantly using up around 300mb of RAM (i have 16GB) and wondered if that is normal and what is going on? Screenshot below. I've tried turning the process off and it doesn't allow me to, tried...

Great, thanks for the helpful explanation @barlew

Hi @barlew - can I check, is altering all these settings in Control Centre similar to the settings you can change in Throttlestop? I.e. undervolting or are you doing something different here? thanks

Hi @fola how did you adjust your battery settings? I don't have any power management options in Windows and can't see any in the Control Centre app either? thanks

Polite bump! Happy to post SS of other settings if helpful or post to another forum etc. Just seems a bit odd I can't undervolt beyond c. -50mV without freezes/crashes etc. And makes me wonder if I have something set up in ThrottleStop incorrectly or outside that app in say the power settings etc?

Hi all, thanks for your help so far. I have been playing around with the undervolting and would it be normal that I can't undervolt more than around -60mV on CPU core and cache (same undervolt) before the laptop either freezes, BSoDs or restarts? This is what I've been doing to test it: Load up...

thanks @SpyderTracks. I don't seem to have the option circled in red though?

Just a polite bump in case anyone has any ideas! thanks

Hi, I was trying to adjust some power settings on my laptop and I don't seem to be able to change from the only option present which is 'balanced'? I go to: Start > Settings > System > Power and sleep > Additional Power Settings > Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced power settings All that...

Sorry @SpyderTracks, I did try and follow the online guides. I thought moving the slider to the left (I.e to a minus position would be undervolting) rather than to the right which is what I’m now doing which to me would assume an overvolt?!

Getting lots of red text next to the greyed out ‘Limits’ box saying, in red, ‘Power’ and ‘Prochot 95’c’ though?

Ok so this is embarrassing but was setting the slider to -50 but now setting the slider to say 40 the other way gives me no temps beyond 80?! Am I just being a dumbass?!

Yeah it crashes so quickly. Using Throttlestop to undervolt. Sometimes BSOD and sometimes just freezes.

Hi all, I've been testing the laptop and have some real worries about it. On Chivalry II on Ultra settings the CPU temp is constantly around 89'c-92'c...sometimes peaking at 95'c. On Witcher 3 on Ultra it's the same. I've tried undervolting by a modest -50 and keep getting BSOD...reckon I should...
