What are the risks with undervolting? I've never done that. The pohone is smooth? No lags?

I will this!, thanks :D

there is absolutely no risk in undervolting..u r just supplying less voltage to the cpu..tats all..cpu needs minimum amount of voltage thats all..more the voltage, less the battery life, more the heat ..hence undervolting is safe..
best way is to lower the voltage then run stability test for few mins..if its smooth then go further below..at one point phone will reboot..then u will come to know ur phones lowest value of voltage :)

Perhaps i'll give Doomkernel V4 a shoot.
I'm using V5 right now and it comes to the annoying "Android OS bug" without connecting the phone to a pc or the charger :(
Don't know if it's caused by Doomkernel but downgrading won't be that bad ;)
Which app are you using for stability test?

Thanks for the answer! :)

EDIT: Oh but it seems that we can't undervolt with DoomKenerl v5, I haven't got the option on SetCPU.

Could you post your volt setting for each frequency?
Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot

vsel value will defer phone to phone..my setting might not work for everyone..
mine is from 1050@1.4Ghz till 700@134Mhz and the vsel value between these frequencies really doesnt matter much..anyways here is the settings:

700@134Mhz
750@184Mhz
800@249Mhz
800@364Mhz
850@460Mhz
850@576Mhz
900@652Mhz
900@768Mhz
950@806Mhz
950@921Mhz
950@1017Mhz
1000@1113Mhz
1000@1209Mhz
1050@1305Mhz
1050@1401Mhz

Not even close to Arconium 2.4, but for a beta release...

Been testing 3.b for some time now, and it's a bit laggy after all, but as it's a beta release, this is great. Only a BIT laggy for a beta release is great. Battery drain doubled no matter which kernel I use. And Opera doesn't work properly. Sometimes it freeze the phone. Back into Arconium 2.4, but that's a nice work mate.

ok i have tested both arcknight rc1 and doom kernel v4, there is the latest version which i will test both again. it seem that battery drain could occur anytime if 3g is switched on and off i am not certain that it is the kernel causing this cause both seem to leak with ics 2.2. i did a barebone install btw. and 3 days/arcknight, 3 days/doomkernel

I've tried it for a couple of hours. So, here I go:
A little bit more laggy. Battery drain worst then 2.4 with Arcknight and also Doomkernel for ICS. As it don't has its own status bar, I tried to install this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1540084&highlight=status+bar exactly as I made with all another versions of the ROM. But, after the boot: ploc. My notificacion bar has gone! Lol!

Well, since I'm very noob, I came back to 2.4. So, I hope it helps a little.
I'm really looking forward for not a beta 3 version.

Thanks in advance for the nice ROM!
