    I saw this site linked in a Reddit thread recently and was curious if any of you have come across it before or tried anything outlined in the " Edit EFI Variables to Enable CPU Undervolting" section?

    https://brendangreenley.com/undervo...s-to-improve-thermals-battery-life-and-speed/

    I personally, don't need anything it provides since my v1.6.1 BIOS allows me to undervolt still, but the part about being able to potentially modify BIOS settings / EFI variables has me wondering what I might be able to turn on or tinker with on my machine to possibly get around some of what Dell has locked me out of. In my case, I am thinking of memory speeds/voltages, direct fan control, raising power or throttle limits, etc.
