Hello everyone, new to these forums, lots of questions.
First off, I LOVE ThrottleStop, it is amazing. I have a lot of systems, both old and new and ususally undervolt my CPU's when I can. (all intel)
I was wondering (and Im sorry if my google kung fu sucks) is there a big ol general guide to ThrottleStop, especially the FIVR settings?
I mess with the Offset Voltage all the time with positive results. I have absolutely NO IDEA what IccMax is or what it does so I dont mess with it.
If I have a dedicated video card, is there any point with messing with the Intel GPU settings? If I change the default video from "auto" to whatever in BIOS the onboard video still seems to be "active".
I also love to play with the Speed Shift setting to keep CPU's clock as low as possible when idle and then slightly boost it up just barely enuff to get say 98% max depending on what Im doing.
Right now I am playing with an i5 6500 (skylake, I know its old) and undervolting the heck out of it with postive results. How far can I go with a CPU like this? Do I just keep knotching it down until I get a crash?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
