So I tried to boost my CPU a bit with repasting and undervolting.
My results:
| Voltage | Paste | Cinebench R15 Loop (5 times) |
| Stock | Stock | 383 |
| Undervolt | Stock | 461 |
| Undervolt | Phobya NanoGrease Extreme (not enough) | 528 |
| Undervolt | Phobya NanoGrease Extreme (more than enough) | 537 |
My configuration for ThrottleStop:
I’m not an expert but the only thing the i7-8550U really cares is CPU Core. I had it at -0.095 ish for some weeks and it was quite stable, but it did freeze when I started editing videos. So I gave it a little bit more juice…
