Sadly one of my machines is more stable being underclocked by about
3%-5% IIRC. Not sure if it's heat or something else. I've run it with
the case open, extra fans, etc. It just wasn't happy. I lowered the
speed a bit and it runs like a normal machine.
BTW - Except for Seti_AT_Home I am not able to see this speed drop at the
applciation level.
