Question How do I undervolt CPU and iGPU with Universal X86 Utility?

[rbogomolec]

I've always been an Intel guy so I know just how to undervolt with ThrottleStop. I wanted to undervolt my dad's laptop to make it run cooler, but sadly found out that I can't use ThrottleStop with AMD. After some research I've decided to go with Universal X86 Utility, but I can't find any decent tutorials. Do I just decrease the power limit or is it some of the PPT/EDC/TDC limits? (idk what these letters mean, I never had to do this in ThrottleStop).

Also, I don't want to use Ryzen Master cuz people seem to have problems with it, and no one ever said a bad thing about Universal X86 Utility, so I'll definitely wanna go with this one.

Make, model and SKU for your father's laptop? If you have access to Ryzen Master's Curve Optimizer, you should give it a whirl, IMHO. Note everyone's experience is bad, neither for me.

If you have an APU, you could look into this guide;

Sorry I really don't get any of these automated Overclocking programs or the GUI interfaces with them.

Is this just the name of how the CMOS/BIOS interface looks when you go in for your specific motherboard?


Cause back in my day ( get off my LAWN!!!) We manually went into the BIOS/CMOS and adjusted the voltages and timings for everything there. Was a lot more time consuming and ya really had to know what your doing plus read the motherboard manual.

So if your using a GUI or program I'd suggest you just go into the BIOS and figure it out that way, You'll have a lot more control/less buggy..

This is a laptop. You don't get that kind of control in the BIOS there.
