Underclocking an AMD Laptop

[xnamkcor]

I have a Sony SVF15414CXB. Windows lets me go down to 1GHz, but I want to see if I can go lower. Sony seems to have removed all but about 4 BIOS options. Is there a real BIOS settings screen I can access? Or is there a way to change it with a Windows utility?

But why?

It is so worthless.

i doubt but i used to use Notebook Hardware Control to do the same thing it works fine

Why do you want to underclock it?

[SkilledRebuilds]

Power Options in control panel. Advanced settings (Win7 its available, dunno about W8)

Then find Processor and set your minimum % to 0-1% and your max to 0-1% and it will stay at its lowest available state.

Just reapply the thermal paste, it will run much cooler. Also, in advanced power managment set the min cpu speed to 1%

This will work. Accidentally did that on my desktop and I was wondering why windows were lagging when opening them up from minimised

For when I'm running on battery.

0% only gives me 1GHz. I want to go lower.

I'd rather not open up my laptop until the warranty runs out. I've only had it for about a month.

 

Edit: I wonder if I can turn on/off cores without restarting
