    No, because undervolting does NOT damage the unit.
    OVERclocking and/or OVERvolting would void the warranty, since you can damage the unit that way..but undervolting would not.

    HI all, i received my W3v (with sonoma 2Ghz) last week, and i find superb. (sorry for the poor english, but i'm french!!!)
    I've been playing with Centrino Hardware Control, and finally i got it work!! Now when fully charged the battery shows 4h36 mn when running at 800 Mhz (instead of 3h26 when i received it). It is a really running cooler (maximum 62 °C when running at 2Ghz under prime95 and 43°C when running on batteries at 800 Mhz, while writing this).
    Here are the voltage i found:
    15x->1,084v
    14x->1,020v
    12x->0,924v
    11x->0,876v
    10x->0,844v
    9x->0,796v
    8x->0,748v
    6x->0,700v
    but i have one question when running on batteries, even when cpu load is going to 100%, and setting put at max. performance, the cpu clock only goes to 12x (1600 Mhz) . DO you have any idea why ?

    And thanks to your forum where i found very useful information!!

    Fred
