After a lot of settings changes, I ended up undervolting my 5900X. It still boosts to normal speeds, but now stays under 75c rather than hitting 87c

[chillhour]

I'd definitely be interested in seeing an undervoltage guide for GPUs as well, I live in a very humid area and even on lower end hardware it still gets toasty, maybe a two parter, one for AMD and one for Nvidia

[Sean-unok]

I'm an electrical engineer and sometimes I need to be reminded of the value of undervolting. That being said this isn't always an option depending on cpu generation. I'm now motivated to attempt this on my 11700k. Thanks Jay, I'll have fun, but everyone using my PLEX library is going to feel the pain.

[bikeboy]

Thank you so much for the video. I did this on my 12600k and I’m much happier with the 10c drop for the 30 minute cinebench stress test. I would not have thought about doing this before your video.

I upgraded from a 95w CPU to this 241w 12900k and the temps are insane even on intel spec/defaults.
I went into BIOS and adjusted an offset of -0.150v and it decreased temps by 20 degrees C.
I thought that 241w would be okay as long as I dont OC, but firing up a game on stock settings and it's spiking to 90s. >_<
Thanks for this undervolt walkthrough...

[chris_hertford]

more undervolting content guides etc please, also ever thought of using chapters on your videos?

[JacobSpiteri]

Undervolted my 5600x from 4.6ghz 1.36v stock to 4.6ghz at 1.18v and took off about 15 degrees Celsius and allows me to run my pc quieter than before as fan curve is less aggressive. Only hits about 65 degrees max in cinebench r23 at roughly 80 watt power draw and 55 degrees while gaming.

[vidbit]

I undervolted my R9 7950x to 1.035 V @ 4900 Mhz and lost less than 1% performance on Cinebench relative to Default. My temps dropped from 95 C to 62 C, and my power consumption dropped from 204 W to 138 W. Again, less than 1% performance impact.

And here we are 2 years later when Intel is now releasing a patch to undervolt the CPUs b/c they're all failing! Jayz i just want to shout you out for this awesome advice! I followed this guide when I bought my 13700K and undervolted it by .08v - this video probably saved me $300 for a new CPU!

[redtailpilot]

I've OC'd CPUs in the past, but never undervolted. Just upgraded from 11th to 13th Gen (i7-13700kf) and this is extremely helpful. Learned a lot from you! Thanks

Jay, VID is the voltage the CPU is requesting, Vcore is what is actually being sent to the CPU just to clear up the confusion.

[zengrath]

Every Intel PC I've built i have found default voltage on CPU to be unnecessarily high and find i often get better performance lowering it. I assume that the stock voltage is just a safe voltage for compatibility reasons, but with good parts you usually can lower it unless you're going with crazy overclocking. Good to see this is still fairly similar with newer generations too. I'm however thinking of going Zen4 with my next PC and it's been like 15-20 years since I built an AMD system. I'll likely do no OC'ing at first but curious how AMD differs these days when it comes to OC'ing and all.

I have my 5900x overclocked slightly and undervolted with an offset of -0.2, it benchmarks a few percentage higher (not too concerned about getting the best of the best) and runs substantially cooler.

With a Noctua D15s (and all my case fans at 40%) the highest I've seen it peak is 75°c (the joys of booting up) but in a render benchmark 63°c is more realistic and a 37/8°c idle.

[anonym-ypsn]

This is so cool, I was part of the team that built XTU. Great video man!

[Landon]

i'm glad you made an undervolting guide for 12th gen. I find undervolting is very useful for quite a few instances.
TLDR: it's great for thermal throttling, If breakers flip on the circuit under load, and keeping closed areas cooler.

One was my first gaming laptop was running really hot and starting to thermal throttle. Undervolting allowed it to stay cool and maintain turbo performance instead of throttling.
Last time, was when my latest build kept flipping a breaker under load. Actually both my desktops have UPS's bc breakers flip and interrupt what I'm doing and cause potential data corruption.
I have to undervolt my desktop, everytime people start running heaters to keep breakers from flipping.
It's helpful in hot weather to undervolt or turn down the power limit on your GPU in MSI Afterburner to keep it from pumping unnecessary heat into the room. (Same applies for CPU undervolt)

I love these cpu voltage related videos. You think you could one day do a video explaining all the different cpu voltages, what they are and what they do? Like the difference between VID and VCORE. And what voltages to adjust for what result. That would be awesome

[tobjord]

i undervolted both, cpu (12900k) and gpu (3080ti). Without undervolting the Temperatures, even with non benchmark programs, were too high for my liking. Now i'm happy. both dropped about 10°C

[bavelbenjamin]

After watching and implementing the video, went from 1.33 V on 13900K to 1.195 V. Temps dropped from 90+ C to around the 60+ C. Very impressive! Oh, I am on a Custom Look with EK. Yeah, 13th Gen is a challenge to cool, even on stock settings!

[DeshMeister]

Hey, thanks Jay. I just built a 12900k system and was pretty surprised by the temps in Cinebench; up to 92 C on a 360 AIO. Need to try this.

[Creamworks]

would've been nice if you showed in the end how you translate the static voltage to an adaptive offset. you talked about it but didn't show it.
