i'm sorry ... i dotn' really know..

my tech friend told me that.. .he just said, underclocking can also damage CPU. i left it at that, and didnt' bother to explore further.

as to what soulfly meant by 'i missed undervolting' i have no clue what you are trying to imply.

I doubt that as even from a physical point of view (atomic physics), when the semiconductor is set at a lower voltage threshold, the accelerating speeds of the electrons within it are lowered because less effect of the magnetic field is on them. If the acceleration slows down, the heat generated will be less.

But there is a possibility that underclocking might affect the CPU but not to the extent that it will get spoilt.
