Thank you, @lousiana. That's very helpful! I'll definitely give it a try and see if undervolting has any positive effects on my new PC build. Just one more thing - are there any risks involved in undervolting the CPU?

Undervolting does carry some risks, as you might end up causing thermal throttling or even damage to your CPU if done incorrectly. It's important to monitor your CPU temperatures and voltages closely when undervolting and revert back to stock settings if any issues arise.

Thanks for the heads-up, @dazbekzart. I'll definitely be careful when experimenting with undervolting. I appreciate the advice!

Remember that every system is different, so what works for one person might not work for another. Make sure to monitor your CPU's temperatures and stability while testing out undervolting.

Absolutely right, @RayJoyc3. It's crucial to keep an eye on your system's performance when trying new things like undervolting. Good luck with your build, @omeriqbal!

Thanks everyone for the input! I'll monitor my CPU's temperatures and voltages closely while experimenting with undervolting.
