Well, to satisfy your impulse to optimize your hardware you can look into undervolting. Getting lower temps/noise/running cost. In case of the AMD RX (4|5)(7|8)0 even higher performance, since they can hold their boost because they don't hit their thermal threshhold. For laptops it prolongs battery life.

Not possible on Intel chips any more due to Plundervolt.

<edit>Thank You for bringing Plundervolt [0] to my attention</edit>

They removed the possibility to change voltage on my chip from their eXtreme Tuning Utility in an "update". Had to scour the web for an older version. <edit>Luckily i use Windows around 3% of the time.</edit> Won't buy Intel in the future.
