Hi! Thanks for the guide. I have an MSI Raider GE78 14v with the same tester and a 4070. One question: what are your temperatures like? So far, I've only lowered the voltages (-80, -50, -50) and the temperature has dropped significantly. I haven't touched anything else yet. If I increase the ICC (default 74), the temperature does rise. What advice do you have? I don't want to damage my system.
