A further twist on the, what will it be used for question:
If she doesn't have a need for the extra clock cycles this raises the possibility of under volting it at stock speed to save a little power. Sure its not much but who doesn't like saving electricity.
So long as the machine is tested thoroughly I don't see the problem with tweaking it.
I see it like this, whatever standards you apply for testing a rig that’s going to be a dedicated Folder or seti cruncher sitting headless under a desk somewhere unattended, (as in were positive its going to be returning valid results) should be plenty good enough for ensuring the stability of the relatives rig.
