Is there such a thing as 'too much' voltage when underclocking?

I got 1.3GHz at 1.22v but it wouldn't go anywhere under that, I didn't think of trying to lower the voltage, as everything tells me that if it fails, it needs more - in this case, more voltage wouldn't be needed but I didn't think of using less for an underclock... what you reckon guys?

I'd say yes, overall :) At 1.3GHz, you should be able to run at miles less than 1.22v... that's stock voltage, isn't it? Too much voltage hurts stability with an overclock, I would expect the same to happen with an underclock. The voltage wont scale down forever though, theres an architectural voltage limit that it needs to work at all :)

I surrender! For me to beat OC would take me smashing the world record by 800 MHz (7800 MHz!!) :(

Nevertheless I'll see if I can do a better OC for the hell of it.

And my BIOS won't go any lower in the UC :(
 
Post #28 updated again, 150% OC. Seems a bit too "neat" it would boot at 500FSB but no higher, couldn't use SetFSB for higher.... FSB wall should be a little more gradual than that, IMHO
 
Does the free version support that now? It didn't "back in the day...." the whole bench had to be ran, individual tests couldn't be selected

:)

I bought the full version last April, maybe it's changed in the last year
