XTU/motherboard undervolt question

[iryvlin]

Hello!

I have a i7 8700 with Dell 0DF42J motherboard. I can't find undervolting options in the BIOS and I think my motherboard doesn't support it. Can I still undervolting it in Intel XTU software or not?

Thanks.

Yes, you can still do that by using XTU. I am using a laptop which doesn't support undervolting in BIOS, but I have undervolted my CPU by ~125mV using throttlestop. You can use throttlestop instead of XTU as XTU is quite buggy. There are so many sites providing info on undervolting using throttlestop.

Thanks, but are you sure it's the same for desktops?
