Trying to undervolt using intel xtu

Luqman101 — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 12:48:49 +0800

I Recently bought the helios 300 thats comes with an rtx 2060 and i5-9300 as well -120 undervolted as from the manufacturern( Similarly to all the latest helios 300 laptop).

Trying to undervolt further since im getting max temp of 80 degress for my cpu although when i tried to undervolt using Intel Xtu it tells me that if the laptop were unstable it will not revert to the manufactured voltage, this is because watchdog coverage is disabled and therefore i would have to do it manually.

So my question is how do i enable watchdog coverage?

Acer Predator Helios 300

Luqman101 — Sat, 20 Jul 2019 22:02:47 +0800

So i just went to a store that was selling the latest version of Acer Predator Helios 300 or that is what i thought.

The Importation Specifications are
Intel Core i5-9300H 2.4GHZ
RTx 2060 6gb GDDR5 VRAM
15.6" 144HZ Slim Bezel Display with IPS Technology
Full HD 1920 X 1080 LED-backlit TFT LCD NTSC 72%
8GB DDR4 2666Mhz Memory
256GB PcLe NVMe SSD

But what i recalled and check was that the latest version 2019 comes with a Gtx 1660 and and i7 9th gen processor as compared to this.

Just for the sake of price i will use Brunei currency which is the same as SGD so Predator Helios 300 PH315-52-54KG Cost About SGD $1,928 (RM 5,830.69) that comes with a free gaming chair which is undeniably ugly, although i can negotiate it to around SGD $1700+ (RM 5,383.11) without the gaming chair and in my opinion its seems like a good deal to me especially with the Beastly Graphics Card.

Moreover from what i was told the latest version design was build differently internally as compared to the old version Gtx 1060.

So i need clarification if this is the latest version that is the same as this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7pEmHo1CkQ&t=272s
in terms of build quality, same thermal performance, same design interally and externally

The Sales Girl did a horrible job in explaining things such as wrongly identifying the price with $2,428 (RM 7,342.80) and confusing the laptop with the triton.

Undervolting my acer nitro 5

Luqman101 — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 11:27:12 +0800

Current specs Acer nitro 5
Gtx 1050ti
i7-7700HQ

Used intel Xtu to stress test and benchmark

Basically i tried undervolting from stock voltage and increasing the value until -0.160v

How do i know what voltage is the best for my cpu or some people call it stable?

Moreover, when benchmarking is the higher the xtu the better? and maximum processor frequency? and low highest cpu temperature?

Reason why i undervolted is because stock temp is 96-99 degrees temperature when playing and saw that undervolting helps lower temperature without reducing performance.
