These temps are for when both the CPU and GPU are stressed to the maximum. RX 580 set to 1077mhZ (cant affect the speeds as of yet) and -93mV (on the core of course - we could also use the VRAM voltage control btw as I think its too high there too) = 75 degrees C on maximum stress. Ryzen 1700 set to 3.2 GhZ and 0.98125V = 84 degrees C under maximum load The temperatures did drop on the GPU and CPU under maximum stress. The GPU is in desperate need of undervolting since Asus didn't exactly do this unit's cooling justice at all, and, this helps reducing the fan noise as well. but Prime95 for example will eventually crash the OS with those voltages. Obviously, your voltage mileage may vary depending on your silicon quality, but considering I got my GL702ZC on practically the first day it became available in UK, you might also look at mine as 'worst case scenario' or use it as a reference to set voltages to similar or slightly higher levels, and then run CPU and GPU stress benchmarks to see where you are at.Ĭinebench for example will happily run on 0.975V and 3.2GhZ. which also worked several/multiple times in 3d Mark Timespy benchmark, but this setting also crashed my OS on two runs. My stable undervolt was -93mV on the core.įor some games such as Mass Effect Andromeda, -100mV works too. The RX 580 in this machine can now be undervolted using MSI Afterburner.

I would advise these settings only if/when you're using the CPU alone for rendering tasks).Īside from that, I suspect we could drop temperatures on both the CPU and GPU further by simply repasting them with something like GeLid GC extreme or Conductonaut (though Conductonaut as you know is highly conductive and corrodes certain materials if it spills over), and also coating the VRM's and GPU VRAM chips with quality thermal pads (something like Alphacool or Fujipoly thermal pads of AT LEAST 11W/mK variety or better).įor the GPU, as some of you may already know, we don't have Wattman functionality in the Radeon drivers (why this is happening is unknown as of yet, but it might have something to do with the premise that Asus locked the BIOS in this machine - or it could simply be AMD's issue that they hadn't released yet proper drivers for mobile RX 580 - which would seem a bit superfluous considering that we do have a desktop grade GPU in our machines - only underclocked). but I suspect that 3.6GhZ boost across all cores can run on 1.175V stable (the question is would you want to considering the temperatures. I hadn't tested higher frequencies or voltages yet. I was able to undervolt the CPU using the Ryzen Master utility for Threadripper (For some reason, the one for regular Ryzen doesn't work in this laptop).ģ.2GhZ across all cores works stable at 0.98125V I just wanted to share some interesting undervolting results I got on my GL702ZC (Ryzen 1700) and RX 580.
