    Well i've done a little research on the whole undervolting topic but have come to the conclusion that RMClock will not work with my CPU. I really think it could benefit my laptop as i play a few graphics intensive games, not high end but enough to bring the heat up to a decent temperature. So i was wondering what programs, guides i would need to use as i really don't have a clue on the topic.

    Computer Specs:
    AMD Athlon X2 Dual-core QL-64 2.1GHz
    4096MB RAM
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650

    Now how would i test this setup to see if it works or not? would i stress test the CPU with something like Prime95 and see if BSOD's? if so how long would i run the test for?

    The guide is pretty in-depth if you need help. I prefer to stress with IntelBurn Test but Prime95 would probably work fine as well.
