[SOLVED] A Question on the use of undervolting for long-term use (Laptop)

[Lemuel Buenviaje]

Hey guys, its my first attempt to post a question on this forum so please go easy on me.

My question is, I have applied an underclock and undervolt to my GTX 1660ti mobile, and have achieved stable performance while gaming and with Heaven benchmark. Now, would it be alright for me to leave this undervolt on at all times? Or do I have to revert to the regular clockspeed/voltage when I'm not gaming? Because I have concerns if changing back and forth between standard and undervolted states will cause damage to my GPU. I undervolted by around -80 mv. Also, does disabling boost clock on my CPU (It usually clocks at 4.3 Ghz, boost disabled it clocks at 2.9 Ghz but my games still achieve 144 fps at base clock) have any lasting effects on the CPU as well? I'm achieving temps of around 58-65 C on my GPU under load, and around 60-68 on my CPU.

Attached is a picture of the curve I created (i couldn't attach the picture for some reason)

My unit is the Lenovo Legion 5

My thanks in advance for the people that will answer!

If undervolt/underclock performance is satisfactory I don't see why would it be detrimental.

So once I have undervolted it's alright to leave it on forever? even if i'm just doing typing/watching on my laptop?

Yes, specially when you are doing little like that. Games usually need more power.

Could you please tell me how did you underclock and undervolt your laptop ?
