I've been using an old Dell Precision M4400 (Windows 7) to play light games like league of legends, and it works fine for it, but recently i've noticed that my laptop gets uncomfortably hot. After installing HWMonitor i found out that my CPU runs at almost 95 degree Celsius while playing league of legends!
After doing a bit of research on how to cool off my laptop, i purchased a cooling mat, and i've replaced the thermal paste of the laptop with some Arctic Silver 5. The new temperature is slightly lower at around 80 degrees.
However, I would like for it to be cooler, and started learning about undervolting. I tried using Intel XTU, but it refused to install on my laptop as it was a "unsupported platform". I tried using throttlestop, but every throttlestop undervolting guide i've searched up requires the use of the "FIVR" option within throttlestop, which my version of throttlestop dosent have.
So my questions are:
1. How can i install Intel XTU on my system?
2. How can i undervolt my system with Throttlestop?/How can i get the "FIVR" Option?
3. If questions 1 and 2 are impossible, is there an alternative program i can use to undervolt my system?
If you could answer any one of those questions i'd be sincerely grateful.
Thanks in advance!!
Laptop Specs if needed:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo p8700
GPU: NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M
