Curious Method to Undervolt. What is the most efficient way?
Hello everyone,
I've recently found my temps running rather high while editing 4K footage and special FXs, and I was wondering what is the most efficient way to reduce average temps? I've had my temps running around 87° to 90° on average while rendering some videos, and it has peaked as high as 92° while experimenting with large playbacks of color-graded footage. This has largely been a drain on my CPU rather than GPU according to the Predator Sense app, but I'm expecting a heavy workload in the upcoming months and wanted to be cautious as to not overheat and damage my laptop.
Anyway, I found this interesting comment on YouTube while watching Helios 300 reviews:
