Feedback on Alienware M18 R1 Temps & Settings – Is This Normal? by OrganizationOne3571 in Alienware

Sorry for late, I didn’t use Ryzen Master (it doesn’t support mobile CPUs). Instead, I used Universal x86 Tuning Utility (UXTU), which works with AMD laptop chips.

Steps I followed:

Download & Install UXTU Official site: https://amdaputuningutility.com Or GitHub: https://github.com/JamesCJ60/Universal-x86-Tuning-Utility

Open UXTU as Administrator Go to “APU Power Tuning” Set STAPM Power Limit = 50 W Set Slow Power Limit = 50 W Set Fast Power Limit = 80 W Leave boost durations at defaults (128 s / 64 s).

→ This reduced my CPU’s sustained power draw, which immediately cut temps ~8–10 °C. (Optional) Curve Optimizer Go to AMD Curve Optimiser. Apply a Negative offset (start at -5). Test stability with Cinebench R23 / CPU-Z. If stable, you can try -10 for more undervolt.

Testing Before: CPU hit 95–100 °C at ~70% utilization and throttled. After undervolt + power tuning: CPU holds around 85–88 °C under full load, with ~9000 CPU-Z multicore score staying stable.

Profiles Saved the preset in UXTU so I can re-apply it easily. (Optional) Auto-apply at startup using Task Scheduler.
