Undervolting - lower CPU temp by 10 deg. c. - better than thermal paste
OK. Undervolting lowers your CPU temperature by 10 degree c. max. and achieves much better results than thermal paste.
This means on laptops - quieter fan noise, longer lasting machine, better battery performance and a few more benifits. Use on desktop etc. for similar results.
I have done this on my lappy and have achieved 10 deg.c. less CPU temperature.
The procedure will not harm you computer in anyway and is 100% safe.
Personally, I dived in at the deep end and set the voltage to the minimum from the start and it worked out for me. I did not bother with load tests and it has been a few months now and no crashes so its all good. (I did some small quick load tests as I could not be bothered to wait ages for proper load test). Everything is explained in the link below
Some kind fella wrote a guide - it is worth spending time to do this as it is the bees knees. UNDERVOLTING GUIDE
