It doesnt matter at all. Any processor running stock voltage being underclocked is not going to be burned up. Overclocking and raising voltage is a different story, the high voltage can fry a processor or heat as in burning it up. But underclocking a processor with stock voltage is not going to harm a processor at all. The only reason to lower the voltage would be just trying to save on wattage. The lower voltage would drop wattage alot more then just lowering the mhz.
 
maybe you are right, but I find it hardly coincidental that I underclocked it on stock volts and it just happens to never boot again. Tested on 2 boards which boot fine with the 2600k at stock settings.

I am calling BS, because running my G530 @ 800MHz (for another project) at the stock 1.1V fried the processor.

If you notice and watch it in CPUz, cool n' quiet and speed step scale voltage with speed. They do not just drop speed. And on most systems, it is not worth the programming they put into it to get it to work. Like on my D630, the T7100 at idle clocks down to 1.2GHz and drops the voltage by .1. So power savings and heat do not drop much at all. But it is just fine at .500V at 800MHz dual core mode when using the power saver applet in ubuntu.

I undervolted my TL-60 till it bluescreened then bumped it up one unit. Voltage drops only cause instability. Overvolting can kill a chip though due to excess heat. Yes you have to scale with speed, thats kinda a duh thing. But you can undervolt without issues.
 
here is mine forum. i could go higher on my core clock, like up to 4.8Ghz at 1.4V, but im not sure if i should run the chip that high...but here is my benchmark score.

if i run it at 4.8Ghz, i get 1567 points, so an increase of 30 points for a 100mhz gain, and the cost of higher voltage, and a little more heat. im wondering if 1.4V would be safe to run as a 24/7 overclock?
 
yeah thats what i was thinkning tooso i just have it at 1.33v running 4.7Ghz. runs pretty good, and thanks for the comment on my score. waiting to get the charts updated.
 
Yeah, is your 1090T at stock? Overclocking does actually help quite a lot in this benchmark. :)
