i7-6700HQ results (on Dell 7559)

[ashirviskas]

I've tried to experiment with this a bit and -150 -150 -150 seems to be stable on this CPU. (-175 is not so much)

On 100% load:

Temps drop from ~82C to ~66C (And the cooler also spins slower)

Package power usage drops from 38W to 27W

sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 --num-threads=8 run Gives the same results

All in all, this is a really good way to lower your temperatures and power usage.

s-tui was used to monitor the wattage and temperatures.
