    I didn't think there was any way to undervolt the CPUs but I've heard multiple people on this forum say they did it. How can I? Is it possible to change the clocks also?

    People use RMClock for it. What I would like is for someone to publish figures for "safe" levels and "your mileage may vary" levels of voltage for ease of setting.

    I know each CPU is fundamentally different, but there has to be a certain level that while lower than stock is "secure."

    It is ridiculous that RMClock doesn't support half multipliers, but I found a guide to getting it to work (by editing the registry), but it didn't work for me. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1151624

    I noticed that both the 6.0x multiplier and the SuperLFM are at the lowest possible volts (.875). Would the SuperLFM still consume less power?

    Can the GPU be undervolted?

    Thanks for the links btw.
