Root [Boost Mobile] Is there a way to lower the voltage on the Shin OC kernel?

I know how to adjust the cpu speed with setcpu but i thought i remembered reading that someone had also lowered the VOLTAGE for a more stable OC (sorry i searched and just cant find that post)...anyone know how or if its possible?
 
i believe there's an app somewhere to adjust voltage for a better battery life.
would take some searching im kinda busy atm sorry

Anlso what is the diff between noop and cfq shedualer?

1) Noop

Inserts all the incoming I/O requests to a First In First Out queue and implements request merging. Best used with storage devices that does not depend on mechanical movement to access data (yes, like our flash drives). Advantage here is that flash drives does not require reordering of multiple I/O requests unlike in normal hard drives.

Advantages:
Serves I/O requests with least number of cpu cycles. (Battery friendly?)
Best for flash drives since there is no seeking penalty.
Good throughput on db systems.
Disadvantages:
Reduction in number of cpu cycles used is proportional to drop in performance.

2) CFQ

Completely Fair Queuing scheduler maintains a scalable per-process I/O queue and attempts to distribute the available I/O bandwidth equally among all I/O requests. Each per-process queue contains synchronous requests from processes. Time slice allocated for each queue depends on the priority of the 'parent' process. V2 of CFQ has some fixes which solves process' i/o starvation and some small backward seeks in the hope of improving responsiveness.

Advantages:
Considered to deliver a balanced i/o performance.
Easiest to tune.
Excels on multiprocessor systems.
Best database system performance after deadline.
Disadvantages:
Some users report media scanning takes longest to complete using CFQ. This could be because of the property that since the bandwidth is equally distributed to all i/o operations during boot-up, media scanning is not given any special priority.
Jitter (worst-case-delay) exhibited can sometimes be high, because of the number of tasks competing for the disk.

There is an app called Voltage Control. Not sure if it works on our phones since I haven't tried it.
 
Just decided to try out voltage control seems to work fine i just used the lite so it just tunes the cpu dont know what the pro version does
