Knbai Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hello guys, I've been lurking for the past 30 or so minutes and came to conclusion that I didn't find any instructions anywhere, so I figured I'd register and ask.I'd like to undervolt my y510p CPU ( and if possible GPU ), in some not-so-intensive games like WoW I've been experiencing needless (over?)heating which I'm sure could be solved by dropping voltage a bit ( it's nothing too bad, all i7 cores running on 75 celsius, and GPU running at 77 @ 1.025 v ), and I've been searching for means to do it. If anyone could offer some insight, that'd be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougQuaid Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 for CPU undervolting you can use intel extreme tuning utility, without any bios modification. Settings will be saved even between restarts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougQuaid Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 well, with my y510p with 3.05 bios I can freely change cpu/cache/gpu voltage and turbo multipliers (+2 bins) and I didn't do anything to unlock bios.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomski Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Same here. Just use the Intel's Utility, and prevent modding bios'es and stuff;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settings will be saved even between restarts Hi @DougQuaid You Were Right Sorry , No Bios Modification Needed , I Tried Y580, Y470p "Bios Modification Needed" , Y410p And Y510p "No Bios Modification Needed" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdoust99 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Doesn't Nvidia Inspector (a NVIDIA GPU utility similar to cpu-z) offer this? Check me if I'm wrong but I wanted to contribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltizar Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I had no Idea this was possible without bios update. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernandop2 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 if you dont want to mod the bios and need to lower the heat use throttleStop and set the multiplier lower i use mine at 26T (2600mhz) and temps are about 85-95 gaming 1h+ very CPU intense game (Tera), with that i stoped the throtteling issue, but i want to get lower temps, so im going to use the bios mod to disable HT and see if that help, other thing is repaste the CPU/GPU but you will have to dissarm the laptop almost complete lol and that is my last option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
