    Anyone undervolt their 8510gz. I'm running CHC on it and have setup dynamic switching (when plugged in) and undervolting. I did not run Prime to test (yup, I'm lazy), just use Full Stability Test from CHC.

    6x multiplier is at .700v (default is .988v)
    8x - .796, BSOD .764
    9x - .860
    10x - .908
    11x - .940
    12x - .972
    13x multiplier is at 1.020v (default is 1.308v, so a nice drop)

    I believe my settings are conservative besides the 6x as I did not fully test it using something more granular program like RMClock. Notice 9x to 12 x is very close as I didn't play around to much, just made educated guess and ran stability test.

    At 800mhz, plugged in, idle is between 37C - 41C, fan hardly turn on compare to before the small fan is constantly on and idle in the mid 40's
    At 1.73ghz, plugged in, idle is at ~ 45C which was what 800mhz idling prior to undervolting.
    My hard drive temp stays steady at ~ 29C

    100% load at 1.73ghz, highest temp was 61C before big fan kicks in and knock it down to 52C.

    I'm happy with my results as my system is running cooler, battery time has improved by about 15 - 25 min when using max battery under CHC.

    If anyone have questions, let me know or post your results up if you did undervolt your 8510gz.
