    I've been trying to find ways to undervolt my GPU for quite some time now. I know there was one post describing how using the Catalyst Control Center's profiles, but that not only had no effect, but it automatically resets itself.

    I really want to undervolt to reduced temps and increase battery life. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. if only sending me in the right direction - threads or other websites.

    Btw, as can be seen in my signature, I have an MSI GX640 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850.

    Thanks for any help.

    RadeonBiosEditor and Atiwinflash. I have MSI GX740 ant it works for me. What is more, I run my Mobility 5870 with voltage reduced from 1,15V to 1,05V, yet still the GPU is overclocked from 700MHz to 815MHz without any issues. Furmark extreme burning mode doesn't exceed 90C (I have a "riddled with bullets" bottom cover though ;) ).
