    Hi,

    I have read the Undervolting Guide, but I still had some questions.

    First and foremost, which program should I use: RMClock or K10Stat? I've heard that these are the most popular ones. RMClock seems to be pay-to-use (mostly everything is greyed out), or it may not be compatible with my cpu. My friend used K10stat on his AMD cpu and it worked fine for him.

    Second, anyone have any recommended voltage values that I could use as a guideline? Click here for pictures about information on my cpu and default values.

    Third, how do I need to go about undervolting my AMD cpu? Do I need to under-volt each p-state (0,1,2) and test them individually? How do I keep my cpu at a p-state so I can test it? Or does Orthos let me choose?

    Thanks.

    K10stat 1.54 (latest version)

    Yes, you need to undervolt each p-state.

    IntelBurnTest is a good program to use(works on an AMD CPU)

    If the voltages I set are stable during testing, but fail during normal use, how do I find out which P-state is at fault?

    Also, on the Aspire Gemstone: K10Stat and AMD Undervolting Guide, wha does "Use Windows Processor Power Management to test different levels." mean? Don't you test P-state by clicking on the bubble in K10stat?

    Edit: I just ran Intel Burn Test at P0=1.01v and it said it failed (unstable, it wasn't reading consistent cpu values). It hasn't BSODed yet, should I worry about this warning? Should I raise the voltage?
