    Is there some way I can undervolt my laptop's CPU? I have the I7-3740QM, don't see an option for it in XTU or bios, running prema bios that are probably a year or so old. Can't seem to access premamod website anymore to check for/update bios if necessary.

    Nup no undervolting on IB EMs. You can only add turbo voltage but I never needed to do that on maxed 3720 or 3740 with +400mhz turbo cap and no power or turbo time limits, and only at 4.3ghz and beyond on 3940xm

    Also no PM bios update in past year.
