    This thread is for 11th gen notebooks...

    The history... From 1th black list thread...

    Please post your notebook/desktop model, if your PC come with no ability for voltage adjustment (undervolt) in bios/3rd party software as ThrottleStop or XTU... I will add it into this 1th post. Thanks

    The basis for creating this thread.
    Protecting your Intel CPU from Plundervolt attacks can ruin your overclock/undervolt



    Preview from the spoiler...

    1) Alienware m15 R6 (11th gen Intel)

    Why remove the undervolying for some of 11th gen processors when Intel have removed the problem? Most likely greed. Yep, it has to be due greed!

    Intel have removed/abandoned the cancer SGX (software guard extension) from their newer processors as 11th and 12th gen processors.

    Why did Intel abandon SGX?
    As a secure enclave technology, SGX was commonly targeted by security researchers who discovered numerous vulnerabilities and attack methods.

    Examples of attacks targeting Intel SGX include:

    • the Prime+Probe attack discovered in 2017,
    • a Spectre-like attack disclosed in 2018,
    • an Enclave attack discovered by researchers in 2019,
    • a MicroScope replay attack,
    • the so-called "Plundervolt" injection attack,
    • a Load Value Injection (LVI), and
    • the SGAxe attack on the CPU cache resulting in the leak of the enclave's content.
    In summary, Intel had more to gain from SGX's deprecation from the perspective of security.
