    Hi, I've been using the search function for a bit under the 30 minute mark, and found nothing.

    Is there a thread where I could get the information I need regarding undervolting my y510p ? Cheers !

    1) Download and install Intel XTU (xtreme tweaking utility)
    2) Open the program
    3) On the left hand panel, under Manual Tuning, click on all controls
    4) Adjust the sliders "Dynamic CPU voltage offset", "processor graphics voltage offset" and "processor cache offset".
    5) The important one is Dynamic cpu voltage; set that one to -65mV and then play some games. If it is stable (aka doesnt crash) then you can go even lower. If you go too low, your computer will shut off, but dont worry, it will go back to default settings automatically when you reboot.
    6) I have the processor graphics and processor cache set -75mv but they dont seem to do much.

    Quick question, for the "Processor Graphics Voltage Offset", I don't see it in Intel XTU
    I'm using an Y510P SLI

    Dynamic CPU and Processor Cache are set to -75mv, working fine this far.

    Thanks!

    That is because the intel GPU is disabled when you have SLI ultrabay card installed.

    Is there a way to undervolt a SLI Nvidia?
