    I've just undervolted the i7-6820HK but the stock temp and after undervolting (-0.170V) seems to be the same.

    50-52C idle/web browsing
    60-72C max load/stress test/hours of gaming

    These numbers didn't change after undervolting. I know these temps are quite good already but I was kind of hoping that it will decrease at least 5C or 6C more.

    I've also lowered down the Active Core Multipliers

    1 Active Core from x36 to x33
    2 Active Core from x37 to x32
    3 Active Core from x34 to x27
    4 Active Core from x34 to x27

    I hit apply after ofc.

    Did I do something wrong?

    ... you thought 72C was too hot to start with? It's completely fine and not worth the sacrifice of 20% of your cpu speed

    Are your fans spinning the same speed as before?

    I don't really need that much CPU power, yes the same fan speed as before, so I'm guessing that the program didn't work as intended but I want to make it work though.

    We have an Owners Thread for the GT80s series, and also for most other MSI laptops in the MSI Reviews & Owners' Lounges Forum:

    ***The Official MSI GT80S Titan (w/desktop 980 GPU's) Owner's Lounge***
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...itan-w-desktop-980-gpus-owners-lounge.785384/

    And, the GT80 thread has a lot of good content as well, both are active threads.

    ***The Official MSI GT80 Titan Owner's Lounge***
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/the-official-msi-gt80-titan-owners-lounge.769092/

    You can find lots of posts already answering questions, and posting there might get more views and answers.

    Sorry bro, thought If I create an exclusive thread so it won't be under a pile of posts from other members if I did it in the owners lounge section.

    Either way is cool, I just didn't want you to miss out on all the good posts already made covering this stuff :)

    You started your thread 1 up from the other GT80 / MSI owners threads so I thought you didn't see them.
