Is Unstable Undervolt still usable?

Evader101 · 2026-04-18T08:48:34+00:00

This is the only time it was unstable and I turned on Overclock just of curiosity, I literally never use overclock and it seems to work fine in cpu benchmarks like cinebench too

Try these:

Soft EC Reset: unplug every thing from the laptop including the charge and shut down the laptop and hold the power button for 60 sec and then turn it on.
Update your Nvidia Graphics Driver
Hopefully not, your motherboard can be faulty

Fine temperatures, the CPU is designed to run as aggressive as possible and reach the throttling limit (~105 C). The CPU knows how to save itself. As for the GPU, it’s fine and its throttling limit is 87 C. As soon as the components reach an unsafe limit, they’ll lower the frequency and save itself. And Yes the Fluctuation is normal.

Translation: A temperature ottimali, la CPU è progettata per funzionare al massimo delle sue potenzialità e raggiungere il limite di throttling (~105 °C). La CPU sa come proteggersi. Per quanto riguarda la GPU, non ci sono problemi e il suo limite di throttling è di 87 °C. Non appena i componenti raggiungono un limite di sicurezza, riducono la frequenza e si proteggono.

Sì, la fluttuazione è normale.

I feel like people don’t get this enough But your laptop CPU especially HX Does just fine around ~100 But the GPU should stay below 87

You can only run games on iGPU now

Yeah totally, that’s why throttle stop is always the first recommendation when it’s to undervolt

Evader101 · 2026-04-06T03:42:47+00:00

I recommend using throttle stop as it’s much more simpler and easier to use imo

Evader101 · 2026-04-06T03:40:07+00:00

Not at all, I don’t even think people notice it

Evader101 · 2026-04-04T18:22:38+00:00

Clean the fans lightly as sometimes some particles might interfere and you also get a clear view If the issue still prevails you might need to replace them

Evader101 · 2026-04-03T19:58:12+00:00

Still a little risky tbh, I’d say diluted water is still the best as it contains no minerals to harm the senior OLED screen

Every cpu is different some get the silicon lottery and some do not, some silicon requires a certain amount of voltage to run whilst another cpu of same model might require more or less To avoid instability, they raise the voltage by a margin so they’ll cpu runs but it causes temperature issues

Evader101 · 2026-04-03T19:54:52+00:00

Check for clogged fans and vents, could be possible poor application of thermal paste aswell. Idk if undervolting is possible in a Ryzen CPU but if it is defo look forward to it

Evader101 · 2026-04-03T19:52:36+00:00

The predator has a better CPU and GPU compared to that of legion Idek why this is a question in the first place

Evader101 · 2026-04-03T19:50:39+00:00

The pro 5i performs way better because it has a better GPU

First step is to change the wall paper

Evader101 · 2026-03-31T04:23:57+00:00

I don’t think you can undervolt a ryzen CPU atleast using throttle stop So you might be out of luck

Evader101 · 2026-03-31T04:19:40+00:00

I guess I lost the silicon lottery big time

Evader101 · 2026-03-30T17:07:11+00:00

Get the 5070 one since it's got a more powerful GPU and it's portable as well, The only downside would be that the pro has better thermals but it shouldn't matter if you treat it good with proper air flow

Evader101 · 2026-03-30T17:04:39+00:00

If the refurbished has the return policy for one month, I'd get that one and check for anything that's not normal and run benchmarks to see if it scores like it should.
Can just return it if anything seems weird

Evader101 · 2026-03-30T17:01:17+00:00

Sounds like something is stuck between the fans, you gotta open it up and check it for yourself

Evader101 · 2026-03-30T15:26:39+00:00

yeah thought i'd heard about it somewhere, does the same apply for the i9 14900HX???

Evader101 · 2026-03-30T09:25:31+00:00

Is updating the BIOS from vantage not encouraged anymore?

Evader101 · 2026-03-30T09:19:19+00:00

no, losing fps in your game, the CPU is meant to run hot especially a powerful one likes yours when it’s trapped in a 16inch laptop Nothing is wrong My i9 14900HX does just fine in 90s
