    Anyone had any luck (or have any knowledge) about using NHC to undervolt an 8204? I'm curious about reducing my heat a little when using 100% CPU (like doing video rendering) and was thinking about it, while I have been using NHC for quite a while now I've not actually tried undervolting yet...

    Alternatively anyone know any really simple guides as to how to? I'm curious to try but don't want to break anything.

    I have yet to undervolt my cpu on my Acer 5672wlmi but I know it is very possible to do with NCH. I previously did it on my Acer Travelmate 4000lci with a single dothan core 1.4ghz with no problems.

    Not sure if this helps you at all but look here - http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache...c30+undervolting+nhc&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=4 (the main link died so this is a cached search)

    I also know that I undervolt my GPU with NHC when I'm on AC power. the laptop runs much cooler as a result. Look here for the screen shots for before / after.
