that's BIOS shit yeah?
athlon II and phenom II are based in the same arquitecture, both have C'n'C 3 so both downclocks to 800mhz on idle, so no, no underclocking.

EDIT: undervolting is in the same section of overvolting which is in the oc section of the bios.

EDIT 2: GO FOR THE 780G MOBO aahhhhhhhhahaha

The TPD has nothing to do with power consumption. TPD (Thermal Power Design) is the amount of heat needed to be disapated for the product to function normally. While it is a good parallel as more powerful parts will generate more heat, but is not always the case.

Athlon II is the same shit as a Phenom II, just less cache.
Make sure you get a board with a SB710 or SB750 southbridge.
That way you can try your luck on getting a quad.
