    I have a t61p with a t8300 and I am trying to undervolt it as much as possible. I've seen some members that have their t8300 at .9250v. I use RMClock to set the voltages but I don't have .9250v as a standard option. I got RMclock to list all theoretical voltages and i set it at .9250 yet it doesn't work.

    How can i get .9250v?

    You cannot undervolt processors below the bsod limit. If it seems to be a software lock and you can still test great at the lowest available option, go to the guide in my sig and try asking.

    I mean I can't even set .9250 on any of them it just doesn't work. When I try to it still stays at .9500. Does this mean that only some can allow setting of .9250??

    Then I think it may have to do with your BIOS/motherboard.
