Default [Q] Safe undervolting values

Hey guys, anyone have a good idea of what some safe undervolting values would be? I was just going to play around with them and not set it on reboot so I could just pull the battery, but I am unsure of how irreversible the damage could possibly be, if any.

I am running: Senseless 1.0
dsb's kernel

I actually have it underclocked slightly because I don't play games, and when I do they are something like Angry Birds, or Words when I am bored.

Bump, out of all of you who have undervolted none of you know any good values?

Well, since no one will answer, I will

I generally only keep it undervolted -50mV across the board. That's just my usual set up to get a tiny bit more from the battery. The furthest I've gone is -200mV at the top. I didn't keep it like that for long, but everything seemed to run smoothly still. I'm sure I could go much lower, but I'm kind of afraid to until I know more about it.

I'm just starting to work on undervolting today since I found a kernel that works really well. I'll let you know what my phone is stable at.

Cool, I didn't know what was "too much". How much better battery life did you see from -50?

At -50mV across all frequencies, it reeeally varies. I never have a "normal" day with this phone. But, the shortest I've had using Ziggy's kernel from 192-1836gHz with on demand governor is around 7 hours. That was pretty heavy usage for me. Some games like Dead Space and Captain America, tons of internet, Pulse, texting, a few phone calls, music, and a little Netflix at night. The longest I've had has been 20+ hours. That's with very little gaming, a little internet, and mostly just texting. Stock battery, bump charged.

I'm really afraid to go too low, though. One time I was just seeing what would happen if I kept lowering it across all of the frequencies and it froze, then crashed. Had to battery pull to get it to work again.

I run DSB Kernel with SmartAssV2 underclocked to 1296, and before undervolting on my OEM battery I got 13 hours with a little over normal usage. Screen was on for about 2 hours total. On my extended battery I got like 27 1/2 hours, but obviously some of that time was overnight.

2 hours later I am still above 90% this is what I like to see! If I can get 15 hours on OEM battery, my extended battery will stay in my truck as my backup!

Might mess with this, I am running same kernel same governor. How much did you undervolt in the end? I was gonna push-100 on each and see how it goes...

I went -50 across the board, using dsb kernel, underclocked to 1028, and everything is stable.
