    Hi all

    I followed the undervolting guide posted elsewhere on these forums, but could not get it to work, no matter what I tried.

    I set RightMark CPU Clock utility up as per the instructions and checked and double-checked the settings. All looked well, but as soon as I started the stress testing with Orthos, all settings seemed to be ignored.

    It appeared that I was using only 50% CPU, at full voltage (i.e. not at the reduced voltages as per Rightmark).

    Does Server 2008 manage CPU settings/usage in some way? I am confused.

    Thanks for any insight you can offer.
