    Begin with reducing the voltage by 100mV. Keep reducing the voltage by 5mV with every step until the system crashes, reset and set the last stable voltage. You should have a stress test like Prime95 or AIDA64 running while undervolting.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
