CPU undervolting is very simple...

 

Download Intel XTU, restart your system, open up Intel XTU, click 'advanced tuning' on the left side, set the Core Voltage Offset to -0.025V, and stress test your CPU (run AIDA64) for 10 minutes. If AIDA64 doesn't crash, continue to undervolt your CPU in increments of ~0.025V. Once your system crashes or you get a BSOD, set the Core Voltage Offset to something you know is stable.

 

To give you some context, my 4700HQ dropped 15C under load with a -0.125V undervolt. Good luck!

So im getting lag spike when playing triple a games and one of my friends recommended that i should undervolt it to prevent it from reaching 100 degrees celcius
And the problem is the solution he game me does not work...

Can anybody teach me how to undervolt my helios 300 so it does not lag spiked for smooth gaming
It's frustrating especially when playing CSGO

CPU still throttled hard at 47 to 50% and temp still reaching 100 degrees celsius

So the voltage is -0.125v and it dropped from toasty 100 to 75 degrees
and now the problem is when i stressed both the CPU and the GPU combined, it reaches the 100 degrees mark
is that OK??

It's fine. Modern hardware is unbelievably endurable.

this app and it does not work at all

Maybe you havent turned it on with the button in the app itself?

I guess my problem is solved then
Thanks For the Help Guys!!!
?

Will change my thermal paste once my shipment has arrived but for the meantime undervolting is the solution to keep it from frying itself during Summer
Pretty hot in my place
