Comment 13 for bug 63789

Some of us have laptops with lousy heat control, and undervolting is a great help (not to mention, as Phillip said, that it helps prolong battery life). The only problem I've ever experienced from undervolting too much, by one voltage increment, is a system lockup resolved by rebooting and adjusting the parameters. Can anyone point to solid evidence that someone's fried their system by undervolting? Also, caveats are laid out in any explanation of undervolting, including with the tools built for Windows. Any fool can figure out a way to destroy their computer if they want. If you just read instructions, I think you're totally safe.
