502vs laptop undervolting CPU and GPU went wrong?

Hi, I ve tried to undervolt my laptops CPU and GPU with Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and MSI Afterburner acording to tutorials from this forum. Users are vely glad with undevolting and describe that performance in Firestrike test go up from 12200 to 14000 and temperatures not exceed 70 degrees. I has set with core voltage drop into -0,150V and for GPU I,ve taken curves from user upload file in this forum. I ran firestrike and suprisingly notthing happened- teperatures still go to 80 degrees and score is same as before undervolting. WTF? Maybe it is lazy cooling fans (i can't configure speed of fans- their are control automatically) or something block undervolting process?

Best regards

At this moment I can have a turbo all the time (it is present even on idle) or shut down constantly. Is it ok that processor isn't adjusted to current needs of power? If nok how to manage it?


Happened to me as well, I had my cpu locked into max clock. I think my fix was either in power options and minimum processor state was set to 99%. Or I adjusted speed shift In throttlestop.

With MSI I have no idea why it isn't allowing you to change voltages, do you have the check mark in setting ticked that allows adjustable voltage?

And IMO the best way to turn turbo off is with Throttlestop or This way https://www.tautvidas.com/blog/2011/04/disabling-intel-turbo-boost/


I am a gl502vmk owner, and recently went on a quest to reduce heat, which brought me to these forum.

I have spent quite a few hours googling stuff, and found a neat trick to cancel turbo while keeping the CPU at 100% rather than 99% - http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/pascal-rog-strix-gl502-gl702-thread.794993/page-41#post-1052...

If using Win10, there is new option near processor power state to disable turbo. It is called maximum processor frequency. Just put it to your CPU default, and that's it.

I switched to using this after some Windows update, when 99% max CPU state option stopped giving me 2.8GHz clocks and instead used 2.7GHz.

I couldn't find the disable button, can you give some directions or screenshots please?
