Undervolting on Linux? (leminal.space)

Hi, I have tried undervolting my t480 before, but ran into several issues, I wonder if that was because I was just not doing it correctly? never found a proper guide or tips for it really, anyone have any idea how to properly do it? reading other people's stuff, seems it is indeed worth it to try at least.

This guy’s right on the money. That’s about as far as I got with my T470. Be sure to stress test it with some hot, CPU-heavy action to make sure it doesn’t freeze. I was able to get mine down to about -120 mV, but raising that a little bit made it more stable.
