    Can anyone direct me to what program can be used to reduce the Vcore on my Intel Core Duo in the Aspire 5601? I used to use Notebook Hardware Control but I don't use that anymore as it doesn't work in Windows 7.

    Also, has anyone had any luck with overclocking? I plan to overclock only when I'm plugged in and use SetFSB to do the overclocking. I'll be testing system stability using OCCT and Memtest.

    Thanks

    Sorry, totally missed the post on using ICS954310 for SETFSB. I'll give it a try tomorrow.

    I wasn't able to find undervolting in RMclock.
