    I just started messing around with the Undervolting stuff. I changed my voltage to 1.15, ran orthos for 1 hour and all my temps are saying 34-38 while running orthos... Is something wrong? I think that is way to low.. for the proc being stressed out to the full.

    Are you using RMclock?

    I use RMclock and set P-States to throttle my CPU clock and voltage under "Performance on Demand"

    Yes im using RM Clock, followed Flipfires guide (Via Eleron911 sig). I think i set it up right. The RMClock icon is showing:
    AC Power
    CPU Clock: 24933:77 MHZ
    FID: 12.0x VID: 1.1500V
    Core Temp: 36C
    CPU LOAD 98
    OS LOAD 100

    In the guide it said that the temps should be reaching 70ish. HDMonitor reports max temp of 43..

    Task Manager is showing 100% CPU Usage and 2.8Gigs of mem usage. So it is definitely being stressed out.

    you VID is quite low, which would explain the low temp.

    if you increase the VID, then it would increase the temp.

    have you tried running a wPrime test (set to 2 threads) before & after the undervolt?
    - this would determine the amount of performance loss you might have if its too under powered.

    Well i expected lower temps but not this low. So I guess it is working. The pennryn chips really don't run to hot do they.. I will try the wPrime test on original VID and then on 1.15. I guess if its stable and the same i will try UV it more, goal of 1.05

    2nd test done stable at 1.025 but raised to 1.0375 for extra security.
