Dear all,
For 10th generation CPU models, we open certain range for users to modify.
This range has been tested and verified, exceeding this range will cause system crash.
So for stable performance and usage, please kindly adjust within the opened range.
Thank you very much.
That range is only available in BIOS and is also buggy. While all my stress tests are stable, the BIOS setting on my G512LV often resets and I have to reapply it manually, having to go into the BIOS every time. If I actually notice it because it does it without any warning! Meanwhile all other settings like boost timers, TDP and core multipliers are locked in XTU as well for me. Including the voltage setting. So no real way to monitor and adjust settings.
There was a post on Reddit from one of those websites which sell custom laptops. Their testing show 10th gen can undervolt to -80 and keep around 1% failure rate. Above that and the % increases exponentially so they decided to ship their laptops with that undervolt or something. Problem is, that % was something around 10 if I remember correctly. Undervolting, as is oveclocking, is strictly individual and can vary with each machine. Some users report stable undervolts with more than -100-120mv. Anyone who can undervolt can also run a simple P95 test and see if their system is stable or not. Anyone who can actually do that is an above average user. Thus Asus's/Blake's answer is quite the cop out. I'm actually inclined to think they read the same reddit post or talked with the website who wrote it and did not actually do their own testing. Btw, this answer has been copy/pasted by Blake to other threads as well. Asus is not taking this issue seriously! It's quite the mockery against us users to have to go through all these hoops just to get our Premium machines to run without overheating!
