Huh? I suggest you learn your tech before spouting off, you're just talking baloney now.

You are half righ big well 90% right. By starving the CPU of the required voltage and what it was made to get, you are not going to get the max performance. But it will still be able to be ran. You are also going to void the warranty by doing this.

Negative, undervolting/overclocking does not void any warranty. It is like tuning a car, you do not void the warranty but if you go to far and fry the chip (i.e. blow the engine) then yes you are SOL.

So yes that is voiding the warranty if you fry the chip it is your fault. Also if you take a tuned car into the shop and something is wrong they are going to see the mods and tare going to tell you the warranty is voided. As speed said you can under clock it but it will still void the warranty because you are ignoring the recommended and required voltage regulations for that chip. But I am done, agree to disagree or what not.

No, what you are saying is that if you under/overvolt it is voided, that is incorrect. If you properly change the voltage without frying the card your warranty is safe, just as easily you can take a tuned car back to a stock tune you can easily return a CPU back to stock voltage.

Many Mobo's, especially AMD ones, can automatically undervolt the CPU anyway to be more "green" (lawl) and quiet.

Exactly, I know a few people at AMD working with MSI and a few other motherboard manufacturers who work in the "HTPC" division. I say this because it basically has become that for the low end CPUs, and they are helping build motherboards that underclock when the CPU is below a certain usage. Also, they are helping these motherboard manufacturers build boards that are more HTPC friendly, built in HDMI (already there), proper audio outputs, and even talks of onboard storage to run OS/video playback programs.
