Simply go into your BIOS (Press the BIOS key for your motherboard when the PC is booting, before the Windows logo BIOS key is usually F1, F10, F2, F12, DEL, or Esc) and then find an option that says, “Advanced Frequency Settings” or “Frequency Control”. The easiest way to underclock is through the BIOS. If you still want to proceed with underclocking, then here is how to underclock CPU. Also, if you are on a laptop, bear in mind that your CPU is already underclocking itself automatically whenever your laptop is not plugged in. If you want to increase the CPU’s lifespan by reducing the thermals, then underclocking is a good idea. So, how to underclock CPU?īefore deciding to underclock your CPU, you have to decide if you want to or need to do it in the first place. This leads to less heat and better battery life ( on laptops) and sometimes can boost stability as well ( especially if your CPU is always running above 80☌). Intel(R) core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU 2.80GHz (3.Underclocking ( often called downclocking) is often done to a CPU to make it use less power. GeForce GTX 1070 (Driver version is 399.24) I declare that illegal options are acceptable for me from now on. I am requesting to do "underclock" my gpu. Are you kidding me? I bought your system with a crazy amount of money and I cannot play the game which I want. I will just do "underclock" ! When I contacted with MSI support, they said just sorry, you can't. This is absolutely acceptable.īut hey! I will not do overclock my system. Producers of computer don't want users damage their systems. I learnt in internet that this sliders are close for "laptop"s and open for Desktops only. But these software's temperature limit slider and power limit slider is unlock. I tried to underclock (not overclock (!) ) my gpu with MSI Afterburner, then EVGA Precision XOC, then Nvidia Inspector and finally ZOTAC FireStorm. This overclocked GPU affects my game performance in Black Desert Online (I am suffering from micro-struttering problem occasionally, but continously in the game). Because my gpu is working so hard and so speed. I am using MSI Dragon Center (Comfort or Eco mode and Cooler Boost fan speed), but it doesn't work to decrease GPU heat from "90" degreees although I am using ZALMAN laptop cooler pad as extra. Because this game needs around 75 degrees heat for both CPU and GPU maximum as said by game managers in Black Desert Online official community. But now I need to underclock my gpu to play Black Desert Online game.

Then I played a lot of game without problem. I contacted with MSI support and they said this was normal, don't worry. When I bought it first, I realized that it is so hot while playing game. Hi, I bought MSI gaming laptop 10 months ago.
