Been taking a crash course in this and looks like a 7-8 deg C cooler result from stock settings with my CPU.
This is with a Intel P7450 2.13 GHz CPU
Undervolted using CPUgenie
CPU loaded to 100% using Orthos
Been running on these settings for a few days and seems to be no stability problems.



Stock Intel settings - Result 71-72 DegC

Undervolted - Result 64 DegC

With 3dmark06 doesn't seem to be but i'll go back and do them properly again.
 
Cool!
Try Using OCCT, it's a very good-stress testing app...

it also exports JPG graphs after the test for power, heat etc.
 
Will take a look...
This seems weird, here's the 3dmark 06 scores - Undervolted gets higher CPU points???
Wonder if some background service started running or something but it's definatly not worse anyway.I haven't accidently mixed them up either

Hrmm...
Maybe 3DMark uses a Power vs. Speed benchmark too? (Like SiSoft Sandra)
 
Tried it with my bro-in-law's HP dv6000 which he complained was overheating - but in the end gave up... Coz it had a freakin Celeron in it... Thinking of ripping it out and putting in a 1.66 C2D I have & trying again...
