Using throttlestop for 3rd gen intel CPU i7-3****?

Hello, there are a lot of contradicting information floating around on the internet. One of them is on undervolting and throttlestop.

I have been using Intel XTU to undervolt my 7th gen CPUs for a while but I switched to throttlestop after having 200th problem where the undervolting gets reset on reboot, and so far I really like it.

Now in the past I asked about using XTUon the 3rd gen and the answer is that I can't use it to undervolt and same thing for throttlestop ( http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...able-to-undervolt-3rd-gen-mobile-cpus.837097/).

Now my 3rd gen Intel cores are in Toughbook CF-19 Mk 6 with passive cooling and could always benefit from something equivalent to undervolting adn so can my W530 that idles at 60C and stays 90C on load.

Can you suggest any methods to get better thermals while not sacrificing the performance using throttlestop for 3rd gen intel CPUs?

 

You cannot undervolt on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen intel CPUs. They do not have an integrated voltage regulator (FIVR), which means you have no control over the voltage that the chip demands. Best you can do with throttlestop is limit the power it consumes, which means it will downclock if you lower the target power rating. W530 should have a decent cooling system, you can try liquid metal in there to see if it tames the temperatures.

 

My W530 handles well on load okay. Never overheating but often hanging out at around 85C. They aren't out of control, I just don't like it. My CF-19 frequents 100C.
