For those who doens know much about OC stuff....there is a way of Unclocking. wat i did was i enables the Speedstep function in the bios (using Asus P5n-e-sli) and then once i'm in windows, go to the power option in control panel...just choose portable/laptop as ur power scheme...this will lower down everything.

it saves energy, reduce heat productivity and its a instant setting. u can change it back to the default speed at anytime as long as u are in the window

but the downside is that the speed is fixed. E.G i'm using e6420. at Home/office desk setting..it runs at 2.13ghz the default speed, when i change it to protable/laptop power scheme the speed is 1.60ghz.... normally wat i did was i change it to protable/laptop when i'm downloading and then i go to slep

i'm using watercooling for my system.

home/office 2.13ghz 29c 1.300v (LYN & web surfing)
Protable/laptop 1.60ghz 26c 1.138v (LYN & web surfing)

the tempreture will be 2c-3c lower when i'm not using the pc.
