Im trying to undervolt my cpu but everytime i reduce it down 0.025v it stays stable, im at -0.275v and its still perfectly fine, should i keep undervolting or reduce the undervolt number?
 
Solution
a ryzen 5 3600, im undervolting a desktop in bios, so do i keep undervolting lower until its unstable?
ryzen 5 3600, my temps dropped by 15c at 100% load from 75c to 60c so far and my fps in ow2 increased by 80.

If you want to, yes. If you're satisfied with what you're getting, then keep it where it's at.

Keep in mind that for undervolt stability testing, you actually want to hit it with a 1-2 core workload, not a full workload. The reason being is voltage is more important for hitting the upper end of boost clocks. If you don't check for this, you'll have this confusing situation where something like Cinebench or Prime95 is fine, but the PC will randomly crash elsewhere under "light load"

You've left out a lot of critical information. What CPU are you working with? Are you using ThrottleStop to undervolt on a laptop? Is this a laptop or a desktop? You gradually work your way down until you reach instability.
