    These are the results of undervolting my X9100 before and after. If you look at the right side of the attached picture in the red box, you will see my temps skyrocketed after only 1 minute and 20 seconds of stress testing.

    If you look at the left side of the picture in the green box, you will see my temps dropped 10 C across the board and remained stable after 7 minutes and 8 seconds of testing.

    This was a definite improvement.

    To see more about my heat issue, check out my recent thread. If you can find what the normal temps for an X9100 should be, let me know.

    These are the temps after playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for an hour. I could probably undervolt a little more as everything is stable and cool.

    Today I played the game for another hour after replacing the bottom cover and max temp was 75 C. The undervolting helped.
