    I was wondering if anyone has tried undervolting the CPU on our machines or has any good information on it? I remember reading somewhere the undervolting isn't like it used to be due to the new chips, something about not being able to change the voltages at certain speeds below certain levels due to Speedstep or something other. But I'm willing to do as much as is possible, to keep temps down, which in turn will help overclock the GPU higher.
