Undervolting Guide for CPU and GPU

What is Undervolting?

Undervolting is the process of lowering the operating voltage of the GPU or CPU. Most of the factory overclocked cards tend to ship with higher voltages. Most of the time these higher voltages are unnecessary and lead to increased power consumption and increased temperature limits.

Undervolting helps us to regulate the voltage limit and maintain a good temperature. In the case of laptops and other mobile devices, where energy comes from a battery, Undervolting helps preserve battery life without putting pressure on performance.

Is Undervolting Safe?

Yes. There won’t be any hardware issues if you do it the right way. I’ll even say It will prolong the lifespan of the GPU or CPU because it is working at a lower temperature and voltage. It is well worth your time.

Should you undervolt your GPU and CPU?

If you have a laptop, I strongly suggest you undervolt it. There won’t be any downsides and you’ll be able to increase its life span as well.

If you have a small form factor pc case, I’ll suggest you undervolt because it maintains optimal temperature without any performance issues.

Also, if you’re into graphics-intensive applications like gaming and crypto mining, I suggest you undervolt your CPU and GPU.
