Question How can I undervolt an old 3520M?

[Kmylo777]

I have a very old Lenovo laptop and the CPU is rising up to 103C at maximum load. I would like to undervolt the CPU but I can't find a way to do it. What can I do? Thanks in advance and forgive me if this is in the wrong section.

Might be worth some disassembly, new thermal paste & dust removal before you go that route. Especially if this is a fairly new occurrence and it was ok before.

I believe IntelXTU can be used to undervolt though, if you decide to go that route:

Nope :c The IntelXTU is not working to do this, it seems to be locked or something. And I've already replaced the thermal paste and cleaned everything inside. But temperatures are exactly as high as they were before the cleaning.
