Underclock
Sign in to saveUnderclocking, also known as downclocking, is modifying a computer or electronic circuit's timing settings to run at a lower clock rate than is specified. Underclocking is used to reduce a computer's power consumption, increase battery life, reduce heat emission, and it may also increase the system's stability, lifespan/reliability and compatibility. Underclocking may be implemented by the factory, but many computers and components may be underclocked by the end user. Underclocking is the opposite of overclocking.

Underclocking, también conocido como downclocking, se refiere a modificar la configuración de tiempo de una computadora o circuito electrónico para funcionar a una velocidad de reloj inferior a la especificada. El underclocking es utilizado para reducir el consumo de potencia de un ordenador, aumentar la vida de la batería, reducir la emisión de calor, y también puede aumentar la estabilidad y la compatibilidad del sistema. El underclocking puede ser implementado de fábrica, pero muchos ordenadores y los componentes pueden ser underclockeados por el usuario final.
