    Flipfire's guide won't work for the Turion Ultra Rm-70.

    For that you have to go here:

    Not only do you squeeze more battery life (about 20 to 40 mins more), you also lower heat. Which equals quiter operation. I've done it on a TX2500Z with ZM-80 2.1ghz Turion Ultra with fantastic results.

    I've undervolted the ZM-80 in my dv5z and haven't noticed much difference at all on operating temperatures. Rather disappointed...

    Check out this Undervolting guide

    Also your processor should be supported by RM clock unlike for us PUMA processor users which is sadly still not supported by Rm clock :(
