    Question Undervolting the CPU

    I'm sorry but I don't see how that is relevant to the threat. I think it is quite obvious why someone would want to undervolt their CPU. Increase efficiency, improve thermals, have higher clocks and longer battery life.

    Question Undervolting the CPU

    Thanks for your response, but this is not the kind of information I'm looking for. Throttlestop doesn't "unthrottle" the CPU if it the temperature is too high, I guess maybe if you turn off that option, but I didn't and I also do not have thermal issues, so that's not a problem.

    Question Undervolting the CPU

    I'm using ThrottleStop. I am in the latest BIOS, and I'm not worried on whether my games will run or not, but rather I want to learn how to identify when I've reached my CPU limit and understand why it is behaving as it is.

    Question Undervolting the CPU

    I'm undervolting my I7 8750H and I'm a little bit confused about what's going on with my CPU and why. I have a Lenovo Legion Y730 17" and replaced the thermal paste of the CPU. I undervolted my latest stable undervolt was -235mv, the first and only crash was at -250mv. I'm confused here because...

    [SOLVED] Do I need to replace the WI-FI antennas when upgrading the adapter on a laptop?

    you're right. This laptop is specially hard to open and everything fits very tightly. I'll just leave it that way and then see if I find any other way to position the antennas or add something to increase its signal. Thanks!

    [SOLVED] Do I need to replace the WI-FI antennas when upgrading the adapter on a laptop?

    I bought a Lenovo Legion Y730 17" and the previous owner upgraded the Wi-Fi adapter for an Intel 9260. The stock adapter was an RealTek RTL8822BE My Wi-Fi signal doesn't seem as good as it should be, specially considering the current adapter. Here is the deal, the stock antenna is missing the...

    Does hyper-threading / multi-threading increase efficiency (Performance/Watt)?

    So I guess the answer may be: If the workload I'm throwing at my processor is using more than 4 cores, then HT may help improve efficiency, whereas if it doesn't, it will decrease efficiency by "being more powerful" needessly?

    Does hyper-threading / multi-threading increase efficiency (Performance/Watt)?

    I'm looking forward to buying a new laptop, but I have this question that I wasn't able to find the answer to. I would like to know if hyperthreading increases the efficiency, performance per watt, of a processor. I am aware that chips selected for I7 processors are usually better than the...

    How can you add more memmory than the processor can support?

    Hi, lately I've seen many laptops and mini PCs, specially SoC that have more memmory than the processor can support. For example, the Atom X5-z8300 its said to support only 2 Gb of RAM, but I've seen system with 4 Gb. How is this possible? They can still put dual channel memmory if the processor...

    How do I choose RAM for Intel HD Graphics?

    Yes, I know, but I want the more because of the portability, as I want to pair it with a case like this http://www.minicase.net/product_E-2019.html , I think it will be great to consider if they are no that bad, I really don't care that much about the CPU, but more about the GPU, so thats a fact...

    How do I choose RAM for Intel HD Graphics?

    Thanks! Now I know why is the difference of price between the G4400 and the G4500. So basically you are saying that with 2 stick of 2133 MHz DDR4 or more I will be ok?

    How do I choose RAM for Intel HD Graphics?

    Hello, I'm planning on building a rig for playing PS2 games and old stuff, so I'm considering using Intel HD Graphics for the emulator, so I want to know how to choose the right RAM to get a great performance of it. I know that with AMD APUs you should get as most high speed DIMMs as you can...
