I slightly undervolted an i7 11800H by -100mV.

That resulted in a -10C average CPU temperature. Massive!

I don't remember last time I heard the fans. Not even with Docker + Jetbrains IDEs.

I wonder why doesn't it come like this by default. It runs faster too because it's no longer frequently thermal throttled.

Can undervolting damage hardware? Or do you just reboot and revert settings and go about your day?
