How to Undervolt and Improve your Laptop's Performance (OMEN 15 dc0xxx) Solve Thermal Problems
81Today I share to you my version of improving the thermals by undervolting. My laptop, HP OMEN dc0129tx is notorious for giving off 90+ Celsius even on normal operations. Here you can see the difference of performance form the unplugged state, plugged state, on cooling pad, and lastly undervolted states.
You can also try this to any windows laptop and it's totally safe. If ever you have problems, be sure to check the last part about troubleshooting.
Chapters:
00:00 - Intro
00:13 - Overview on thermals and CPU performance
03:09 - Monitoring and bench-marking tools used
04:28 - Benchmark #1: Unplugged state
05:24 - Benchmark #2: Plugged-in state
06:26 - Benchmark #3: Plugged-in state + 1400RPM generic cooling pad/laptop cooler
07:30 - Undervolt using XTU set to -.100
08:20 - Benchmark #4: Plugged-in state + cooling pad + XTU -.100
08:58 - Undervolt using XTU set to -.150
09:14 - Benchmark #5: Plugged-in state + cooling pad + XTU -.150
09:47 - Benchmark #6: Plugged-in state + cooling pad + XTU -.200 (It crashes when you reached your limit)
10:59 - Final Score without any apps in the background, only Cinebench running
11:43 - Troubleshooting XTU install / runtime problems
12:44 - Best practices
