Hello all,
Could somega one help me with this, as many of your my cpu temps go up to 90 while playing battlefield 4, I have been able to de reduce voltage but it does not help, only 1 or 2 degrees lower.
I read that reducing multipliers will also help, but I see 4 different values
Core 1. 36x
Core 2. 35x
Core 3. 34x
Core 4 . 33x.
I'm not sure what values to change or if there is other alternatives using this tool.
Thank you

Thos are the CPU multipliers, the way you get the current speed is:
Your FSB (Front side Bus) speed is 100 MHz, so on a single threaded application using a single core only out of your 4 cores, the speed will be 36x100= 3600 MHz/3.6GHz
If you run an app that uses more cores like let's say 4 cores, perhaps a good video encoding software, then you cannot run all cores 2 3.6 GHz but at a bit slower 3.3 GHz on all cores.
Reducing the core multiplies will bring down the temps but that will reduce performance, at the end of the day, this shouldnt be a solution really because you bought the laptop to use it at the advertised speeds.
A good solution for you would be to remove the heatsink from the CPU and remove the currently installed stock thermal paste and replace it with Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra pate, that will bring down the temps anywhere between 4-8C and is known to be the best thermal paste around.
Another good paste is GELID Extreme Thermal Compound.
Be careful while applying Liquid Ultra because it is corrosive so you don't want it touching anything other than your CPU.
