    Hey,
    So i just got a new alienware 14, pretty happy seeing as its my first alienware and everything is working perfectly so far. However my cpu temps were getting pretty high and i read that undervolting can bring them down a bit. So i installed xtu and dropped it down by -50mv, this dropped my temps by about 5 degrees so i was pretty happy. After a little while I've decided to leave in stock but I've just realized that a few of my settings don't match xtu's defaults even though i haven't changed anything apart from the dynamic voltage offset.The main one is the processor cache ratio which is currently at 30 but default says 9?! I haven't changed anything but this is freaking me a bit, should i go back to defaults or leave as is and just set dynamic voltage back to 0?

    Thanks in advance

    Also its a 4700mq

    Just realized it's also telling me my tdp should be 55 w with a short boost of 68 as opposed to currently being 47 and 59, also package turbo power lock is enabled rather than disabled and turbo boost short power max is enabled rather than disabled.
