can undervolting be dangerous?

RichBa5tard · 18th January 2003, 21:02

I'm running my XP2400+ @ 7*195 (1365mhz) and 1.4v (1.65v default).

It's likely it will run at a faster speed at this voltage, but this is fast enough. At this voltage i can cool my proc w/o active cooling.

Could undervolting damage my processor?

nothing to worry about.

I don't want to add a XP2400+ to the list.
