    Hey Guys,

    How did you guys attempt to Undervolt your CPU?

    Please list
    (1) your tools (software)
    (2) your processor (I'm particularly interested in P-series processor)
    (3) how low could you undervolt
    (4) Noticeable benefits (eg. Increased battery life by XX mins)

    Cheers.

    I know some were trying to find a way to over-volt because the voltage was already lower than normal.
