1 year agoConsider undervolting (via Throttlestop or Intel XTU) to prolong your laptop’s longevity and possibly mildly increase its performance. For the same CPU workload, undervolting will reduce the amount of heat generation and therefore the temperature of the CPU, thereby decreasing the risk of hitting the CPU’s temperature throttling and risk of CPU damage.
There are ready guides on youtube and r/gaminglaptops sub, but I’ll leave reddit links out for now. Just search for your laptop model since the exact values will depend on the model and also on luck. If you’re lucky, you can undervolt a lot without causing instabilities.
The only person I met with that name, and only in small amounts, is Henrietta Lacks.
