    My P650HS-G freezes whenever I undervolt more than 0.100, and even so my temperature is extremely high, around 80c. I had to disable turboboost to make my computer stable, but still my temperature doesn't seem to be normal. Currently in undervolt 0.120 and turboboost disabled. I see a lot of people do 0.140 and turboboost on, still have a cool temperature. Is there something wrong with this machine?

    Example I found that I would never be able to achieve

    What version of XTU are you using?

    You should never have to disable turbo so something is up. A repaste would be a first step and checking out the heatsink.

    I recently repasted my pc, and I tried using the latest XTU. I also tried throttlestop and turned off turbo, barely saved my a$$, 60c

    80c load is not dangerous by the way.

    Although 75c was the normal idle? With turbo

    It should not be at turbo boost during idle.

    Set it to balanced performance in the power plan and see what processes are using the CPU.

    Looks like I fixed it by reducing the power to Better Performance.

    49-65 on idle, 93 on CS GO

    Does not crash at all

    That's an improvement. That's with turbo on?

    It is on, tested long term, worked fine no crashes.

    Only problem Im facing is that CS GO doesn't run over 110FPS (in which Im thinking of replacing my laptop screen to 120hz) and sometimes the game freezes, I think I solved the freezing by GPU High performance settings

    Have you looked at clocks/usages during gameplay?
