Undervolting: How to guide for dummies

Hello. I'm very interested in undervolting my laptop. I would like to know/read more but I've been unable to find information on the internet pertaining to this topic. Could anyone kindly link me a thorough guide explaining it to me please? I'd be thankful. Thanks.

 

You might want to read the Cooling Guide, it should have some info and links to help you.

 

Undervolting isn't for dummies. You can make your computer unbootable if you aren't very careful. If you want to undervolt, there's no good way to do it without just doing a lot of research.

 

Like Pitabred wrote, do your research, the guide advised by Greg is excellent to start with.
It helped me a lot before I started undervolting.
Most important when you start is patience.
You will have to do extensive testing and this will take hours and hours if you want to do it right.
Don't be content with something like a 10 minute test for a lower voltage setting.
It's not difficult and certainly worth it, just take your time.

 

The most useful advice I can give to OP to avoid the pitfall Pita speaks of is whatever app you use to undervolt do not set it up to automaticaly start. That should make it not booting something you don't have to worry about. After people have found there sweet spot they set it to start with Windows. I don't the 30/s it takes to manualy start is not a problem for me with both undervolting and overclocking. In a nutshell that is the Dummies way to have your notebook always boot.
