Also, I don't think it's possible, but if there's any way to overclock the BCLK on this processor I'd love to hear it, even if I only get from 100 -> 103MHz, that would help. This will dramatically boost FPS in any game which is CPU bound, but will not affect CPU or GPU loads alone, except to save battery life.Īny other results? If anyone has a Skylake laptop, try undervolting and see how far it goes. The GPU seems perfectly stable at this level, but the CPU crashes past -90 mV. Undervolting the GPU to -60 mV brought the frequency up to 1.8GHz by lower the GPU's portion of TDP from 10W to 8W, leaving 2 extra watts for the CPU. Through it, the GPU ran at 950MHz but the CPU ran at only 1.2GHz due to TDP throttling.Īs I gradually undervolted the CPU from -0 mV (dynamic offset) to -90 mV the frequency slowly ramped up to 1.5GHz. (Find appropriate to your Motherboard BIOS) Undervolting ENABLED. (check Undervolting Protections is Disabled) After installing Intel Management Engine Firmware Update. During this load, of the 15W available TDT, the GPU used 10W and the CPU only 3W, I guess the remaining 2W are for cache + memory controller. I found solution to undervolting issues with 13gen (13700k) on ASUS TUF Plus D4 BIOS update or previous versions will change nothing.

Also, the temps will be lower.So I played around with my new XPS 13 (i5-6200U) and Intel's XTU utility while running Furmark and Prime95.

If it is 15 W for TBPM then set 15 W for TBSPM as well.ĭoing all this, your system should not throttle as much as it did earlier. Step 5 - Look for TURBO BOOST POWER MAX and set this same value for TURBO BOOST SHORT POWER MAX. ( the stable negative value you got from CORE VOLTAGE OFFSET) for ex: if your system crashes at ( - 0.100 V ) then use ( - 0.095 V or - 0.090 V ) and set this value to both CORE and CACHE VOLTAGE OFFSET Step 4 - Apply the same negative value to Cache Voltage Offset. My CPU crashes at ( - 0.080 V ) so i keep it at ( -0.075 V ). reduce this value in negative to the extent where after applying the value the system crashes. Reduce this number to negative values one at a time and run stress test for 2-3 minutes and check if system is stable and not crashing. Step 3 - Under ALL CONTROLS, you will see CORE VOLTAGE OFFSET. Under that you will see, ALL CONTROLS, CORE, CACHE,GRAPHICS etc. Step 2 - You will see ADVANCE TUNING section on your left. I searched a few videos but when I try do the same most of the options are grayed out.Īlso I want to do this to reduce my CPU temperatures since it gets very high after using it a lot. But I don't know how to use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.
