I7 8750h undervolting help

Hi, i just received my laptop for my son. Its a Metabox with a i7 8750h, 16gb ram, gtx 1060. I did a basic undervolt, it boosted to 3.9ghz and dropped the temps to around 80 degrees in fortnite but in Ark its high 90's. I need help with Throttlestop or can get the intel software. I just want the temps down as my son lives in another city so i can't be there to help if anything goes wrong. I don't mind if boost clocks are lower either. Any help would be appreciated.

I guess you got the N850EP6? If yes, you need to tweak a few things since this model has mediocre cooling

 

Guides for CPU and GPU undervolting are in my sig below, trial and error. Might want to lower turbo ratio limits via Throttlestop and do a repaste

So I have the cpu core and cache offset voltage set to -125 and the turbo ratio set to 37 on all cores. does that seem ok? Just ran ark for 15mins and the cpu temp was around high 70's low 80's. I'm considering repasting as i have some Noctua  Nt-h1 here.

Turbo ratio limits: As you like

Undervolt: Trial and error until system crash

well it hasn't crashed on those settings , not going to try anymore, temps are down which is good. as far as repasting, went to do it today but once again another screw has a stuffed head, so can't get it undone. that is the 2nd screw so far
