hell undervolting will extend the life of the processor more then it would do damage to it.. since your running less voltage to get the same amount of performance out of the hardware..
not always true.... lets take it in a sense of an engine... to much gas is bad for an engine, it'll run rough, carbon build up, excessive heat..... to little gas "ie running lean" again excessive heat and bad for the engine. Processors can be damaged from undervolting just ask an electrical engineer about providing something with insufficient voltage.
and as for an engine running hotter with less gas time to go back to school m8
and engine with to much gas runs hotter clogs up running with to little fuel dose no damage just stoles cos of lack of power

Being an EE who has not practiced EE in a long time this does not make sense to me.
A engine running lean(ie not enough fuel) WILL overheat the engine
Running an engine lean especially turbo and supercharged engines will burn up valves pistons and plugs. ill admit it was a bad analogy for this situation, but this does apply to engines.
I worked directly for an EE in a machining environment. I was passing along what he taught me about cnc control units and motors. I assumed it translated over into smaller IC territory.
I apologize for my ignorance on the IC information, but ive worked on the internals of engines for years.. toll tell of running lean is burnt white plugs and valves..or holes in the pistons.
Really? I would think that since an engine doesn't have the normal fuel will produce less heat due to less burned fuel...?

Good link.
Someone hit the nail on the head, richer mixtures for higher load.You can run leaner when you're cruising around because you aren't putting much load on the engine. Once you start to load that motor up you have to richen the mixture to cool the combustion chambers or retard the timing.
This wins today's prize for Profound Ignorance.
Internal combustion engines and IC's have nothing in common in how they work. IC's do not, and can not, go lean and over heat when under volted.
Electrical engineers know all about power distribution, motors, PS design, etc., but they don't specialize in low voltage electronic devices like CPUs; you want to speak to an electronics engineer for that.
I'd take anything posted on the tomshardware forums with a big grain of salt - it's like reading the user reviews at Newegg.
