Also known as underclock
Underclocking, 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.

降頻（Underclocking）是把一顆电脑硬件的時脈速度下調至低於廠方的數字，其目的是為了省電及減少熱力。適合在高溫或散熱裝置較少的環境下使用。 現代的CPU与显卡已经成为电脑中的“用电大户”，用户和厂家都不得不考虑如何节约能源，而降低运作频率就是一项非常有效的方法。 对于核心制程相当的电子元件而言，耗电量正比于： 時脈速度x電晶體數目x電壓2 與降頻相反的是超頻，它提高時脈速度。
