Underclocking and Undervolting?

So purely for educational purposes I have decided to go ahead and undervolt just to see what I can do. And is the procedure for testing Underclocks the same as OCs? I know it is more practical to just leave it at stock but I plan on graphing the returns of undervolting and overvolting so I can look at a complete set of data (OC and UC).

Don't see why it would be any different than testing an overclock. I've never under clocked so I couldn't tell you, but I assume it's the same process, just in reverse.

In my head it would seem the same but I wanted to double check.

Well our heads are the same then :P Like I said I haven't done it so I'm not 100% certain. But I'm almost sure it is the same ;)
