Mh, I'm no processor expert, but how could underclocking and/or undervolting
cause any harm to the hardware? Overclocking and using higher voltages is
obvious, it increases power- and heat dissipation and increases aging of
the CPU's materials. However, does anyone here know if lowering the
frequencies and voltages could have any ill effects to the hardware?

Greetings,

  Gunter
