I must run in the wrong circles. I personally have only known 1 person with air conditioning, and they had their house custom built about 15 years ago for $500,000+. I live about an hour south of Seattle (where it is usually hotter than the Seattle temps), and very few apartment complexes and few single dwelling homes have air conditioning. Most, if not all, stores, offices and other commercial buildings do have air conditioning.
This whole thread seems to have moved off from the original point of my original post. I am just looking for information on undervolting vcore of the cpu to help reduce the heat buildup and how to determine the optimum voltage by experimentation.
