    I can't seem to find the technical documents containing the safe voltages for this CPU, nor can I find the documentation to help me with figuring out how to undervolt (or possibly overclock) my X2 with this particular utility. Can anyone explain to me the process of using RM Clock, and perhaps supply me with the information that I need to do so safely? Any help is much appreciated.

    All you need to start off is the VID at max(8.5x) and min(4x) multipliers. CPU-Z should be able to let you know these and just let RMC decide the VID's for the other multi's in-between. These should give you a starting point and you can then under volt from there and go down to the lowest stable voltage at each multiplier you want to use.

    This thread shows you how to undervolt using NHC, just follow the same rules for RMC, except stress testing, do that yourself, using Orthos or Prime95, etc.

    Technically, any voltage is a safe voltage (unless it's too high, but why would we raise the voltage?). Also note that setting the voltage too low will do no harm to your CPU (if voltage is too low, it goes EEEEEK and resets everything back to normal, BSOD). I've got my T5450 (1GHZ-1.66GHz) running at x10: .950V, x6: .950V (dam you Intel for locking the min voltage).
