    Saw some great results for undervolting for P8600 from chango and couple others, and seem to only see one undervolting thread for T9400, that also from chango, in which he had worse results, most probably due to him undervolting incorrectly the first time, and doing it correctly on P8600 :). My laptop should be here in about a week, so won't get to test undervolting till then, so I was wondering whether anyone else had tried undervolting successfully for T9400 yet, and I missed the thread.
    PS if you did do it, can you post your undervolting specs, thanks.

    Hi, lol, yeah I messed up my undervolt the first time on the T9400. I didn't keep it long enough to try it again, but, just follow the undervolting guide and i'm sure you will be fine. I skipped a step which is why my undervolt went wrong. I was just skimming through it, which was a mistake. Just make sure to follow it step by step and you will be fine.

    undervolting the T9400 seems to have a problem of it being a little underclock of 133mhz because of the rmclock not able to read half multiplier..

    Snake, where does the cooler blow air? Are you aligning it with the dv5t's vent?

    Click on my sig link and skip to the Zalman NC2000 part and find the picture with the underside of the dv5t.

    It should help cool everything better as it's blowing cool air to the right vent.
