undervolting (P870DM-G)PremaMod Bios Settings for Undervolting i7-6700K - DONE! (CatchyOS Linux)

[Scourge]

UPDATE: I figured it out! (Now running Linux CatchyOS on my Sky X9E (P870DM-G)

 

HI!

 

Here are my settings for cooler temps while boosted at 4.0ghz on all cores: (i7-6700K) (No overlocking, just a stable undervolt at stock speeds for cooler temps)

 

With all other settings on stock, I just changed these settings (Underlined for changes)

 

ADVANCED SETTINGS TAB:

 

Overclocking Feature: Enabled

IMON Scaling: Disabled

Vboost Enable: Disabled

RSR: Enabled

 

>Processor

Core Max OC Ratio: 40

Core Voltage Mode: Adaptive

Core Voltage Override: 0

Core Extra Turbo Voltage: 0 

Core Voltage Offset: 175 (Negative)

Core PLL Voltage Offset: 0

 

>Ring

Ring Max OC Ratio: 40

Ring Min OC Ratio: 8

Rin Voltage Mode: Adaptive

Ring Extra Turbo Voltage: 0

Ring Voltage Offset: 175 (Negative)

 

>Uncore

NO CHANGES - LEAVE AT DEFAULT

 

In the ADVANCED > CPU CONFIGURATION setting:

Leave everything at stock except:

INTEL SPEED SHIFT TECHNOLOGY - ENABLED (Skylake CPUs make better use of this then SpeedStep)

INTEL SPEEDSTEP - DISABLED

Platform Power Limit 1: 95000

Platform Power Limit 2: 95000

Leave all C State settings at default

Power Limit 4 Settings: 95000 (inside the menu)

 

That's it. Leave everything else alone. Save and reboot! My benchmark temps top out at 80C after a few minutes using OCCT on Linux CatchyOS, and that's with the stock fan controls.

 

 

BONUS TIP:

 

If you're a CatchyOS Linux user like me with a Clevo P870 laptop, you can get Keyboard LED control (using the keyboard Fn+ buttons) here:

 

https://novacustom.com/clevo-keyboard-backlight-control-for-linux/

 

Tl;dr: open your Linux Terminal (CTRL+ALT+T on most Linux distros), and then PASTE and ENTER this terminal command to install the package:

wget https://github.com/wessel-novacustom/clevo-keyboard/raw/master/kb.sh && chmod +x kb.sh && sudo ./kb.sh

That's it! After it's done, reboot your Laptop and then you can use the Fn+ keys with the 4 NUM PAD buttons to change a few colors and the brightness levels on the keyboard!
