Is there a way to use a BSEL mod to underclock a 775 CPU.

Specifically a Pentium 4 540 chip?

I am using it in a file server and I really am not using much of its 3.2GHz as it is but my server mobo can't underclock/overclock or anything in the BIOS.
 
It will depend on the motherboard more than the CPU. I am of the opinion you have a farily high chance of it working if the motherboard (wish I knew which one) supports processors of various buss speeds and you use a vaild BSEL from the same family of chips with just a lower FSB default speed. I know this sounds obvious but without specific details of the motherboard manuf and model and version its about all I can offer. I think it would be highly unlikely to damage anything if it did not work as long as you get the mod only on the BSEL pins but again a lot more speculation than I like.

I am thinking you want the mb to think the cpu is a 3.06GHz Intel P4 524 533MHz 1MB LGA775 . I am too tired to figure out what dropping the FSB from 200 to 166 would be but if you know what your mulitplier is, it should be easy enough.
