    Quick question....does the current version of Dragon Center still interfere with Bios undervolting or Throttle Stop Undervolting? I just got a new GE66 and am doing a clean install and want to Bios Undervolt (You can still access hidden menus in GE66 with the keypad combo) or Throttle stop...don't know if I should install the new Windows version of Dragon Center again though?

    Last time I checked for my GS75, Dragon Center was not affecting my very small undervolt. With my previous GT73, it did rewrite BIOS values and overvolted my system.

    Were you using a software based undervolt like Throttlestop or undervolt through the BIOS?

    In both cases, direct to BIOS undervolt.

    I don't know what the current version is, but the one I use works great with undervolt from Throttlestop. I heard at one time that Turbo mode would overvolt the CPU, so I don't use that mode at all.

    File version 2.6.1907.1901
