    I have a 1.73P-M, tell me the min. and max. voltage and that should be good. Im using RMclock.

    you have to figure it out for yourself because every computer is different.

    Indeed.. the settings should be slightly different for each CPU...
    but since we do have the same CPU model, I'll give you my settings as a reference (these settings were tried, tested, and have proved to be as low as I can go while remaining stable)

    Max - 1.084v
    Min - 0.716v

    NHC has runs a stability check when you chang voltages. I also found it to have a much nicer interface. That said I have a PM 1.5GHz overclocked to 2Ghz running undervolted to:

    Max - 1.148v
    Min - 0.700v

    Run Prime95 Torture test at each step and see if it's stable. this is the only real way to know how low the CPU can go.

    It's a good idea to do something like that but certainly not the only way to do it.

    I meant that testing is the only real way, not Prime95 :)
