    I just successfully undervolted my T61p t9300 to .9750 volts.
    It runs incredibly cooler now. and plugged it into my kill a watt at max cpu
    after - .79 amps 49 watts
    before - .90 amps 56 watts
    Should extend battery life.

    Anyways only "problem: is that RightMark doesn't currently support half steps, ie 12.5x So the computer currently maxes out at 12x which is 2.4 gigahertz instead of 2.5.

    My question is since I have so much leeway with the voltage, if I turn the voltage back up could I change the top step to 13x and run at 2.6 gigahertz like a t9500?
    And if so how do I accomplish this?

    For those who might want to give this a try here is the guide I used http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=235824

    Regardless of what the multipliers mean, it absolutely does run at 2.5 GHz at the 12x multiplier. Measure it yourself. I'm referring to the core clock, not the throttle.
