    I have a W500, with a Intel T9400 processor and Vista 64-bit. Has anyone tried undervolting this processor, and if so, what's are the lowest stable results for the multipliers? (I think I have 6x through 9x).

    Also, I noticed that Lenovo's Power Manager also has a bunch of power usage profiles. Do those profiles overwrite the profiles on RMClock?

    Someone wrote on having solved a heating problem with undervolting.

    Every processor is different, you will have to test the stable voltages by stressing your CPU with something like orthos and bump your voltages a little bit above where you BSOD.
