    I undervolted my notebook to some values, the temperature did drop by quite some decent degrees, but i want to get it to the limit, what's the stable values you guys mostly got on your dv5? (im intested in those with similar configuration to mine - see sig)

    Undervolting is try and error practice.
    You have to undervolt and find yourself the limits of your processor because every part is different from the others. Other people can tell you some "safe" undervolting values, but don't think that their good results may be good for you too.

    i would see the undervolting guide first... search for it in the forum... than using RM clock , set ur lowest multiplier and SLFM multiplier to 0.95V... for the highest multiplier , set it to 1.125V first... also before u can use RM clock , u'll have to mod it to recognise the half multpliers in P8600... here's a thread which shows u how to do this..

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=411168... i currently am using 1.125V in highest multiplier... u can go lower with P series...
