    Can someone post the undervolting settings using CHC for a Z70v with 1.86ghz +1GB+80-5400rpm config if available?

    Your best bet is trying on your own. There isn't a "safe setting" working for all processors, as they might be from different batches, etc. Make small changes until you hit unstable, and then go back one or two steps - that should be your best solution.

    On z70v with 1.86ghz...

    6x @ .7v
    14x @ 1.064

    btw hd / ram wont affect cpu undervolting...

    I dont have the rest off the top of my head... but each is diff... CHC gives you an idea of where you can go. Look under the menu where you can change the voltages and there is a line of text underlined in blue saying something along the lines of Sonomna voltage guide etc... click there... it gives you a starting point as to what the stock voltages for dif processors are and it also gives a "low" point type thing on the far right of the table with the voltage stats... you also might want to read the help file there... it gives you directions on how to undervolt etc... / use CHC well...

    i unfortuneatly dont have chc open right now so my directions might be a bit off... try it out... but be sure to prime95 test the voltage settings for stability.... (prime95 is a cpu stability tester, google it or look on this forum for a link to download it...) hope that helps! good luck undervolting... it is great - less heat + more bat life + no loss in power! :eek:

    flaxx also listed his voltage listings for his z70v with an oc'd 1.5-2.0 ghz.. here: http://forums.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=23304&page=1&pp=10

    Cheers! :)

    on a 1.73:

    6x @ 0.700 V
    13x @ 0.972 V

    Seems stable enough and prime 95 lasted more than 16 hours without errors, but my notebook seems to intermittently restart itself and has trouble shutting down correctly. I might try to raise those by a bit and see if it helps...
