What would be the safe limit for undervolting nitro an515-51 ,i7-7700 without risking blue screen ? I intend to run demanding games, so will it affect the limit ?

    It is different for each CPU. Run a stress test while undervolting, as this will insure that the system won't crash even at 100% load.
    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.
