    Does it makes much sense to do undervolting with an SU9300 (Samsung X360) with SSD

    Looks like I don't have Speedstepping

    The 6.0x is already at it's lowest 0.9875

    Only the IDA 7.0x can be lowered to 0.9875 in steps of 0.0125 V

    What now ?

    It means that Intel has locked your lowest voltage to 0.9875v.

    One possible way to lower it further is to use Crystal CPUID but no guarantees that it will work with your CPU. If you look at my guide (sig) there is a part in it that talks about UVing via CPUID
