Hi guys! This is my first post, but I've been on the forum for long enough to get the gist of undervolting my cpu. I have the 8th Feb Intel i-7 with the 1060 6gb and, as many people say, it runs quite hot (90-97). To fix this, I turned down maximum processor power to 99% and the minimum to 95%. This fixed my overheating but dropped my frames while gaming about 15-20, because Intel turbo has been disabled. I tried to undervolt instead of this using Intel xtu, which didn't work, and throttlestop which also didn't reduce temps. I don't know why this is because most people report a 10-15 degree reduction. Also, I uninstalled Intel xtu before resetting the -.100 v to 0, but reinstalled it to find that it was back to 0, does this mean my bios didn't save the undervolt? I just want to make sure I didn't create a new base volt that is .100 below the standard. Anyway, I'm just trying to get my temps down without voiding warranty with a repasting job, so any advice would help.  If you are still reading this massive post I thank you for your time!

    If you don't want to void warranty, contact Acer Support. They might send some technician to do it for you. Just tell the person to use Kryonaut or Arctic MX4 (buy it before calling them).
