    I was doing a lil overclocking (to try and beat the 1m20s 2M superPI calc I've gotta admit. No luck btw. Best I could do is 1m23s with my 760 at 2.3ghz. I got affraid to go any higher... :D ) and I thought to myself:

    Wow self. This sucker oc's pretty darned well. Maybe instead of oc'ing to get a few more seconds off our superPI time I could undervolt and save a few minutes of battery time and lil bit of heat. Haven't tried it yet but I think it's probably a decent idea...

    Everyone who is anyone undervolts. (Msyvc hears rising storm of protest. Msyvc ignores them.) I've used either RMClock or NHC for the last 6 months. My preference is RMClock, though neither graphs CPU frequency or ACPI temp over long periods, for which I use MobileMeter.

    Make yourself a signature with your PC specs in it, then turn on the Signature radio button in Edit Option, so we'll know what hardware yer talkin' about.
