    I'm wondering if anyone has undervolted LV/ULV core duo or core 2 duo's?

    I know you can't undervolt regular core duo / core 2 duo below 0.950v (a real shame) since it's locked so I just wondered how far the low voltage versions can undervolt.

    thanks

    Try this thread out.

    I'm sticking to 1.000 baseline, maxed out at 1.062. Some in that thread have gone lower, to 1.025 at max, though I've yet to test my boundaries (don't want stuff crashing after 45 min of illustrator work). It's looking pretty good, so far.

    We know the normal Core series CPUs undervolt well. The original question related to the LV/ULV versions. I would also like to know how far and how well the lower voltage CPUs can go.

    I have the same question. However, I tried Notebook Hardware Control and it apparently does yet run on Vista...

    You could try RMclock2.3 beta. This includes Vista support although it is not complete.

    RMClock 2.2 works fine under Vista except autostart. There is around this by using scheduler to make it start at log on.

    If interested let me know I will look for the link.
