Understanding CPU Undervolting and Overvolting

What is the primary benefit of undervolting a CPU?

• Increases energy consumption

• Reduces power usage while maintaining performance

• Decreases the CPU's speed

• Increases the CPU's temperature

Who provided insights on CPU undervolting in the video?

• Linus Torvalds

• Steve Jobs

• Dan Ragland

• Ben Benson

What is a potential risk of increasing CPU voltage?

• Shortened CPU lifespan

• Increased energy efficiency

• Extended CPU lifespan

• Decreased CPU temperature

What tool is recommended to check your CPU's voltage under load?

• MS Paint

• Notepad

• CPU-Z

• Excel

What should you adjust in the BIOS to start undervolting?

• Increase the clock speed

• Change the CPU fan settings

• Adjust the core voltage offset

• Modify the RAM frequency

Why might some users choose to overvolt their CPUs?

• To decrease the CPU's lifespan

• To ensure stability under heavy workloads

• To lower the CPU's temperature

• To reduce power consumption

What is the purpose of adaptive mode in CPU voltage settings?

• To disable overclocking

• To reduce the CPU's clock speed

• To keep the CPU at a constant voltage

• To allow for a new maximum boost frequency
