How to set up ThrottleStop?

I've been using XTU for quite some time now, but people here in the Acer community keep telling me that ThrottleStop is more popular and generally better, so I decided to start using it instead of XTU. I have an active undervolt of -0.145 on XTU. I set it to 0.00 (default - no undervolting at all) and exited the application and started it up again to check if the change has been saved, which it did. I now wanna know how to apply that undervolt on ThrottleStop. People have been talking about how dangerous it might get if one used both apps together and how it might cause bootloops or something like that. I wanna apply a -0.145 undervolt on ThrottleStop without having XTU interfere with it at all and making it as safe as possible such that it would, for example, reset it to default voltage if any instabilities occurred with the CPU, so help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If you want to use ThrottleStop why would you want to keep XTU?

I never said I should keep it. I removed its undervolt and set them back to normal values. Should I uninstall it now?

Yes, you can uninstall it.

There's a really good video tutorial on how to use ThrottleStop to undervolt your laptop by Hotel Hero (he goes by a different name here on the Acer community forums, but I can't remember it off the top of my head -- sorry):

However, you should uninstall Intel XTU and reboot before using ThrottleStop. And for checking if the undervolt took, I use CPUID Hardware Monitor which is a pretty good monitoring tool: https://cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
