    I don't believe it is. I've been looking around but all the programs I've been able to find (RMClock and ThrottleStop) do not support it yet. I'm sure somebody will figure out something eventually. I really don't like the 85 degree temperatures I'm getting on this laptop (and that's in a fairly cool room).

    From what I've read, intel actually took out the feature which was used to undervolt in the new i series.
