I undervolt my laptop. The laptop is now cool enough to be switched on 24/7 with folding@home, without laptop coolers. I think undervolting actually extends the life of the processor, instead of causing damage. I do prime95 for at least 6 hours to determine the lowest stable voltage.

QUOTE(styloe @ Sep 11 2007, 01:46 AM) mak aii My system have to be rock stable since I do folding@home. If it's unstable, folding will fail. I recommend running 2 instances of Prime95 to test for undervolting stablity. nicee.....wan question when the proc in fullload also no problem rite even u undervolt it?if u passed orthos shud be stable.During gaming suddenly hanged or restart wud be annoying  |

QUOTE(sotong168 @ Sep 13 2007, 10:21 AM) any differences if i running orthos instead of 2x prime5 as i suppose orthos = prime95 x2. I'm not so sure about orthos. I've never used it. just now tried 0.88V, the system passed POST but failed to boot-in windows  My laptop remains stable even it's on batteries. Maybe you should add another notch of voltage for improved stability. |

Possible. The limit of overclocking will then be determined by your Vcore.
