    Hi i have been reading about undervolting the cpu and i am using CPUgenie 1.3.1 to lower the voltage to 0.925 all the muptipliers of my g50vt-x5 (best buy) . But i wonder about Rmclock if i can go lower than 1.000 v. Can someone that is using Rmclock to undervolt put p7450 voltage their idle temp and gaming temp for me please. If you have successfully undervolt the 9800m gs can you kindly show me how to do it because i want to use this laptop for a long time. :p
    Thanks you for reading this read. :)

    Intel locks the minimum cpu voltage @ 0.925, which you're already doing and RMClock is subject to that limit also. Nothing more you can do there.

    Undervolting a GPU is tricky, generally not worth the effort and dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

    Usage temps for a given cpu and gpu will vary based on ambient air, specific notebook model chassis and other factors.

    As long as you take care of your machine, and clean out the insides (i.e. radiator) occasionally, you should expect to get a minimum 3-5 years usable lifetime -- you don't need to worry about undervolting etc in order to achieve that. At the conclusion of that time, the technology is going to be significantly advanced and whether it remains functional for your needs then is the more important question.
