    I ran the stresstest yesterday and hit 68c. I have not had a chance to undervolt it yet.

    I stressed tested mine and undervolted it to the lowest voltage possible in rmcpu.

    I hit around 60C and sitting at 1.00v for x6 and x7. Windows is reporting around 4 hours of battery life (which I have never seen before, I normally get 3:30hrs) which is good. I'm only power saver mode. Only problem is I lost around 100mhz due to the fact rmcpu doesnt see half multiplier. Not really a big deal imo, battery life is more important to me than 100mhz. I'm not using this laptop as a gaming rig.

    Anywho, great results from undervolting imo.
