Sorry for asking underclocking question in a overclocking forum 
Im using AMD PhenomII x3 720BE unlocked to x4. I want to leave my pc online when I sleep to seed torrent & downloading so I decide to underclock my 2.8Ghz to 2Ghz or even lower. Currently I'm using AMD Overdrive and I reduce my multiplier from 14x to 10x and it manage to go down to 2GHz. I just wonder if I still or should reduce other stuff such as voltage or etc? Do underclock really reduce heats which prolong cpu life?
Thanks for your reply
if u dont overclock, enable CnQ will auto underclock and undervolt for u when u have light cpu usages. Im using AMD PhenomII x3 720BE unlocked to x4.

and about prolong the cpu life, i dont think so, even a 1st gen Pentium alive now, but who gonna use it?
if u aim for saving on electricity bill, try disable 2 core to let it run on dualcore instead. bill for 24/7 quadcore is insane.
