    Thanks so you do not need power-4 gear? Did you do your own Vbios (I do not know how to mod) or get it off from Chastity's signature forum link?
    I really appreciate the response B4 this post fell off the 1st page.
    I am looking to extend battery life if possible while not gaming. Your temps must be in the 40's ??

    that may be true
    but there is someting interesting when i am on 70/100 videos don't go to 400/1000(UVD) but they stay on 70/100 which is pretty nice to have videos on that clock :p

    p.s when i was on 100/150 baterry then when i've watched videos my clocks were goint to 400/1000(UVD)

    make your own conclusion...
