[QUOTE="plat, post: 844149, member: 74969"] I undervolted my ugly desktop's cpu because I live in an ancient building with older wiring plus I was tired of seeing 1.4 or more volts at a brief 4.2 GHz (this is wasteful). It now boosts to 4.2 GHz using 1.28 volts and is quite stable. Undervolting seems more appropriate for laptops' batteries, though and it seems this can also help with some heat reduction, depending on circumstances. There are plenty of guides online, and it takes some time and patience adjusting and testing the stability. I used Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility but didn't run any stress tests or benchmarks, just some cpu intensive gaming and other regular use. No guarantees, though. [/QUOTE]
