Untervolting power save Advanced
- Who wants to constantly conserve energy, without sacrificing the use of an end-user device, can access to the so-called Undervolting. Here, the supply voltage of the processor is lowered in a targeted manner.
- The logical consequence is a significantly lower power consumption. In the case of Laptops will be extended only to the term but also the life of the battery. Reason for this is that the Laptop is heating up so extremely, and thus the electronic components are not as strong wear and tear.
- Both PC and Laptop have to be cooled. The noise caused by the cooling, normally will be reduced or fall away completely.
- Commands can not be processed as quickly and executed, that is to say the efficiency drops to a certain degree. Simple areas of application, for example, the text processing, is normally not affected at all. More complex programs that put a high demand on the CPU, however.

Undervolting - This is a hazards and risks
- Without any risk the under is turns. Because it lowers the voltage too far, this can have far-reaching consequences:
- A Computer crashes when there is too little processor power, again and again. If you want to reduce the supply voltage, this should be done in a minimal area.
- As a result of too low a voltage, it can also lead to calculation errors. These are not great damage, but lead to an instability of the system as a whole.
- The processor itself can also happen nothing. The Hardware is also of failed Undervolting-Try for sure. The arrangements can easily be undone.
In the next practical tip learn, whether it is in your case, something brings, Undervolting the CPU to perform.
