Reduce CPU/GPU voltage to lower temperatures and power consumption while maintaining performance. Why Undervolt? Benefits: Lower temperatures (5-15°C reduction) Reduced power consumption (10-30W savings) Quieter fans Extended battery life Same or better performance (less thermal throttling) Risks: System instability if …
