Need help on unlocking undervolting on HP Victus 16-R1012NT

[xkeks]

Hello, i recently purchased this laptop and wanted to undervolt first because i am pretty sure it will throttle one way or another. But on FIVR window it says that is is locked. I did the usual things like disabling core isolation, windows sandbox etc. but it didn't unlock it. Any tips on how?

The CPU is i7 14700HX

Also can use tips on what settings to change on throttlestop. Haven't UV'ed any recent CPU's ever so some settings might have changed/added.

Just a little advice, have you tried windows powerplant?

Edit: powerplan

Just leaving the power plan on Balanced should be fine usually.

No i didn't touch the powerplants, i think the balanced does a good job. At least on my old machine it did.

In my system switching the plan to power saver drastically reduce heat output

Wouldn't it also affect the performance?

When the BIOS locks out CPU voltage control, you have to disable the lock bit before Windows boots up. I do not know if this is possible with your HP laptop. Here is the basic method that works on many Dell laptops.

2021 Update: Based on post and Reddit comments, the approach to unlock undervolting works for a number of models, including the XPS, Inspiron, G5, 11th Generation Intel processors, and 2021 Dell models and other lines. If it works for you, please leave a comment below so others may know...

Do some Google searching. Maybe you will get lucky and find a similar method for your HP laptop.

Installing an older BIOS version can sometimes work to unlock the voltage control register. Updating to the latest BIOS version should be avoided. It is a good way to lock out voltage control.
