Hello,
Obviously overclocking can have some implications if you don't do it right, but does underclocking have the potential to damage the CPU and GPU? Do I need to lower the voltages to underclock? I am working on a project for which I need to make a video on overclocking, but my motherboard and CPU do not support overclocking, so I will be starting with my CPU underclocked and then returning it to stock frequency. I will not have my hardware underclocked for too long; just long enough to do a benchmark or two, but I was wondering if I would encounter any potentially damaging side effects.
