    I've got a Sony YB here with AMD E-350. Does anyone know if the CPU can be undervolted?

    If so whst program should I use?

    RMClock doesn't recognize the CPU. Which other program should I try?

    K10Stat worked for older AMD processors but Brazos has a different architecture altogether. You could try, though.

    abadoon4180 has it right. K10stat works for all the CPUs before Fusion and after K8. Fusion is supposedly a whole new architecture. Is your E-350 running too hot? Is it possible to repaste it?

    It's not too hot but I would like a bit more battery life and less fan activity.

    I'll try K10stat, thanks.

    Update: I get an error, 'can't detect CPU'.

    Hrm it's as I suspect that Fusion APU are an entire new architecture. Oh well worth a shot lol.

    Yeah it is Bobcat core, which is much different than anything AMD's done before. It'll probably be a while before utilities are available for Ontario and Zacate processors.
