Posted June 13, 2021 I wanted to undervolt my CPU, because my stock cooler gets very loud and summer + a PC heating up my room isn't ideal. So I downloaded Intel XTU, but everything seems to be greyed out... How do I fix it? Do I need to change something in the BIOS? Are 10th gen CPU's locked for undervolt? i5-10400F ASRock B460M Pro4 RTX 2060 HyperX Fury RGB 2x8 3200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 13, 2021 AFAIK, the same things you need for undervolting are over clocking on Intel. K SKU CPU and Z motherboard. I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems. I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

I've done it before on CPU's that were non K and didn't have a Z motherboard. Did some more research and it looks like Intel has disabled it due to a vulnerability (Plundervolt). It looks like I can change some voltages in the BIOS, I'm trying that now. Edit: Thermals seem to have dropped slightly, but HWinfo doesn't show any voltage changes so I don't know if it's actually undervolted or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 14, 2021 Just grab any cheap $25 cooler, like an Arctic freezer 33 or deeocool gammax 400, and your problem will go away Before you reply to my post, REFRESH. 99.99% chance I edited my post.
