Not really the cpu's are made for a specific voltage by going UNDER that you are starving it for power. You are not going to get it's full potential that way. It is like putting a really small intake on a hemi you are going to starve the engine.

But you have to realize the purpose of what he is using the CPU for, this is not for any CPU intensive program. This is for a HTPC, which is GPU/memory first, network/HDD transfer rate next, then CPU at the end. The purpose of the HTPC is quiet/cool machines, it is very common for people buy slightly beefier CPUs for HTPCs and underclock them to create quieter/cooler results.

Not at all.

If a CPU has a stock voltage of 2.5V and you can successfully run it under load at 2.0V then it will run at the same speed with exactly the same performance. Over volting it to 2.8V is the same thing, the CPU will run with identical performance (given that you don't change the bus speed), the only change is heat output.

As I have already said what I had to say. I am not going to continue to hijack this thread further.
