    Is there a UEFI bios to adjust any voltage or any other settings for The y50 UHD? I want to try some undervolting to get a little more juice out of it. I thought I've read it somewhere, but I can't seem to find any real answers.

    Double post, but answring my own question.
    I found the Intel XTU program to undervolt the CPU. Also apparently can up the multiplier and overclocking the CPU. Only to 3.6ghz turbo though.

    sorry mate, i think its a no go unless u know how to modifiy the bios to unlock advance menu and reflash it... in intel xtu app.. oc doesn't work but uv works.. for example if u oc to 3.6ghz,, the running freq is still 3.5ghz.. somehow the bios lock the parameter of the changing cpu freq value
