Can I just flash my 750m without switching from 3.05 (unmodded)? All I want is to be able to undervolt my ultrabay 750m. It runs 100C on my new favorite game. Repasted. Did the mod to cut the useless plastic from blocking the fan. Have a laptop cooler.....nothing seems to bring it down.

Absolutely. I see what you mean about using only TS instead of both. No worries there. I will do the undevolt from TS as well. I did some mods to the chassis as far as cutting away some unwanted plastic to allow for better air flow and removing the dust cover. I am thinking of rigging up some switches to do the pulse width modulation on/off switch. I think that will allow me to run the fans balls out whenever I want. I'm going to see what my temps are before I start fiddling with the graphics cards. I imagine I will slightly undervolt them once I see where it is to begin with. A big thanks again for answering my questions. I'm an electronics technician, but I don't have a lot of code knowledge to help out with some of the projects on here. I mostly do hardware mods and soldering.....etc. Ty

Hey Unclewebb. Appreciate all the work you do on Throttlestop. Also props to Allstone for the info. I have a Y510P with the I7 4700MQ. I'm trying to squeeze out some more performance for when Archeage goes live here in the US. So far I'm experimenting with undervolting a bit on it. ~70mv at the moment. I'm supplying a screenshot to help with my question. There are a lot of settings in both Intel's XTU and Throttlestop. What are your recommended Turbo ratio limits for all of the cores. I see from your screenshot you have 1 active core set to 36. What about 2, 3, and 4. Also, what do you guys recommend as far as the GPU's are concerned. It would be nice to put together a list of mods. Undervolt X amount, then Set turbo to W,X,Y and Z. I'm putting it all together from reading about 5 different boards. Maybe you guys with some more know-how could share some recommendations about how the throttling works and what we can do to get temps under control. I haven't used Prime95 in a few years...I'm guessing it's a lot more intensive than the Intel XTU stresser. I'm willing to strip it down and repaste everything. My last laptop was the Gateway P7805U....it looked like a frankenstein by the time I was done with all the mods to the cooling. Anyway, Given the relationship to GPU to CPU throttling, it looks like you can get away with just running Intel XTU for an undervolt and then TS to keep from throttling too far. Like you, I don't know the optimal settings though. Where should I park my turbo multipliers, and where and where am I going to hit a thermal wall once I start testing the GPU's in conjunction with my CPU settings? I've got the 750M x2 SLI setup. The mech 1gb drive until I find an SSD I want. I have no slot for the M.2 ....they decidd not to solder one on my board
