[SOLVED] Throttlestop Help

[Seeker21]

Hello, I want to use throttlestop to undervolt my i5-8300h but I am worried that if I went to far that my system crashes and then when restarting it still applies the undervolts and I basically be stuck in a loop. I've ticked save voltages immediately in FIVR and made a task for throttlestop to start with windows in task scheduler so with these settings if I went too far will this crash loop occur?

Why do you want to undervolt it?

Why do you want to undervolt it?

I've already undervolted the core to 170 and cache to 130 a year ago and I am thinking of pushing it more to see if I can get lower temps. With these undervolts and thermal repaste my cpu reaches 87° as max temp after few hours of gaming which I suppose is dangerous and is worrying me.

Why not attack the temp thing on its own, rather than crippling the performance.

Other than repasting and dust cleaning which I am not planning to do now this is the only thing which
I know of that will reduce temps. If it's safe then that will be perfect with me. I don't have a problem trying so many voltages and testing over long hours or days to see if the performance is impacted.

Is this a desktop or laptop?

Let me get this straight. The two things with the greatest chance of success are the two things that you refuse to do first?

It's just the laptop is really hard to open and it's not even mine so I fear I might mess things up this time.

Laptop

Sorry, but reducing the actual performance of the thing is the last thing I would choose to do.
Not the first.

Then in all honesty you're in no way, shape, or form qualified to be servicing it. You will do far more harm with your monkeying around. Have the owner take it to a professional.

Ok then thanks for you're support.
