Undervolting - lower CPU temp by 10 deg. c. - better than thermal paste
 

OK. Undervolting lowers your CPU temperature by 10 degree c. max. and achieves much better results than thermal paste.

This means on laptops - quieter fan noise, longer lasting machine, better battery performance and a few more benifits. Use on desktop etc. for similar results.

I have done this on my lappy and have achieved 10 deg.c. less CPU temperature.

The procedure will not harm you computer in anyway and is 100% safe.

Personally, I dived in at the deep end and set the voltage to the minimum from the start and it worked out for me. I did not bother with load tests and it has been a few months now and no crashes so its all good. (I did some small quick load tests as I could not be bothered to wait ages for proper load test).

Everything is explained in the link below

Some kind fella wrote a guide - it is worth spending time to do this as it is the bees knees. UNDERVOLTING GUIDE

I bought a netbook a couple weeks ago, model A0722, got it real cheap at Target. I undervolted it a few days ago and it's a lot cooler. Suppose to get better battery life to, but didn't really notice.

Definitely recommend doing this. :thumb:

Keep in mind that undervolting will also drastically reduce stability on higher clocks, resulting in lower performance as the system reduces the clock speed to a stable range.

^Yes, thanks for mentioning... if overclocking you need look into this in much more detail.

Agreed. Nice catch Bin4ry.

Nice thread Alps!
