Instead of overclocking an i7-4790K, can it be underclocked? I want to keep it cool enough to be fanless. Quietness is more important than speed to me.

Have a sense of humor, please! I do want quiet. I used the term "underclock" just to get your attention. I overclocked a Q6600 at 3.0 GHZ for 7 years using a pin mod. All of my temps were high and now my machine is completely unstable, thus the new processor.
