[DaWhim]

Actually, I am asking this for my friend. he has this P4 2.4ghz and he wants to underclock it. any ways to do this?

uh... why? I am just curious...

Heat? Noise?

You can reduce the FSB speed, but the best thing to do would be to leave it at the current speed and get a temperature sensitive fan that will slow down when there is a lesser load on it. This will reduce the noise. You can put a larger fan on the heatsink that spins slower but moves larger amounts of air.

Is this a desktop\SFF or a laptop?

for laptops just enable the cpu speedstep and it will drop the CPU to 1.2ghz.

for desktop CPUs you need to play around with lower FSB.
