Here comes a init.d script wich workes for me
/etc/init.d/undervolt (under gentoo don't know where other distros store their init.d scripts)
Code:

eend 1

/etc/conf.d/undervolt (or where your distro stores here autoincluded config file for the undervolt init.d script)
Code:
# Path to the voltage table sysfs interface file
# The init script will detect which one of the 2 below file exists and use the correspond table
VTABLE_PATH_0_2_X="/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/op_points_table"
VTABLE_PATH_0_3_X="/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_controls"
# Switch back to DEFAULT_VTABLE if undervoltage is stopped? [yes/no]
SWITCH_BACK="no"
# Default voltages that will be restored at shutdown if SWITCH_BACK=yes
# Linux PHC 0.2.x uses a table of Frequency:Voltage pairs
# Linux PHC 0.3.x uses a table of FID:VID pairs
#DEFAULT_VTABLE_0_2_X="798000:988,1064000:1116,1330000:1244,1596000:1356"
#DEFAULT_VTABLE_0_3_X="12:16 10:10 8:4 6:0"
# Custom voltages that will be applied at boot time
#CUSTOM_VTABLE_0_2_X="600000:700,800000:764,1000000:860,12000000:956"
#CUSTOM_VTABLE_0_3_X="12:16 10:10 8:4 6:0"
# Set the following to "yes" when the all the settings are configured
# This is a safety to disable setting the voltages with the default
# values of this file that are probably wrong for your CPU
IS_CONFIGURED="no"
hopefully there are no errors in it if something wont work please open a thread in the help forum
