I want to undervolt my i7 7500u cz it throttles up to 40% at 98 degrees. The following are the problems I am facing-
1) I installed Intel XTU and undervolted to -120mv only to see absolutely no temp changes. After I searched a bit I found out that XTU is not actually applying the new settings to the CPU. So I tried Throttlestop.
2) In Throttlestop, when I tried -50mv, the temps were 95 degrees at 30% throttle after running prime95 overnight.
3) After that, I tried -55mv and after running aida64 the cpu throttled as usual at 98 degrees and 40% but in prime95 it showed 80 degrees and no throttling which contradicted the aida64 results. So I opened task manager which showed only 70% cpu usage when prime95 is running.
After all this I got a bit worried and removed the undervolt. I still want to do it. Please help.
