    Did I undervolt my CPU correctly?

    I just bought a Clevo P650HS-G (Sager NP8157). I downloaded XTU and the only setting I changed was Core Voltage Offset which I set to -0.050V. Did I do this correctly?

    From what I understand make sure to change the cache voltage offset to the same value.

    Yes but try -0.1V... It should easily do that..

    You can reduce cache voltage but not the same as core... -0.05 should be fine..

    That is what I have been led to believe.. My Cache voltage never goes lower than the core voltage.. I crash when that happens!

    Good for you lol.. I personally have had that happen with my previous 3940XM + 4790K so as a general rule, I don't recommend lowering the cache voltage more than the core voltage!

    I don't even know what I was trying to say in that previous post. I think autocorrect got me.
