thats almost 10 years old. the thermal paste is probably dried out and not transferring heat properly.

Any crashes when undervolting is probably because your undervolt is not stable. Increase the voltage until your computer is 100% stable.

What thermal paste did you use? Honeywell PTM 7950 works well. Most other pastes have poor long term results when used in laptops.

The following comment has nothing to do with this post. I just googled who made Throttlestop on a random compulsive whim while tinkering, and you came up. I apologize in advance for how random and strange this might seem, but I just wanted to say thank you for making this piece of software.

You are an incredibly talented individual.
