wow. thanks for sharing mate. I'll definitely be keeping it below 1.75v now..thanks man

what don't you understand? I meant that its a good thing of course that the voltage drop is less with the Abit, but the other factors like room temp might have accounted for the higher overclock too. btw, when you say your chip was "damaged" in 2 weeks, HOW exactly WAS it damaged?

of course it'd have an effect. room temps ie. system temp ie. water temps ie. cpu temps have dropped a coupla ° :)

its not enough to just say that the abit is better other factors, remounting, clamping pressure, new aircon :P have to be taken into account. but the the voltage drop at load seems lower with the Abit I gotta say..

at default..I think I hit 140fsb or something..maybe more..can't remember, I cranked it up straightaway :P using an abit bd7II now, stable at 3.05ghz @1.76v..

I'm from singapore! don't suppose you're ANYWHERE near me ;) hey thats interesting, i didn't realise it was one of the new optically-shrunk cores. could you correct your link? its an ad?

ok, decided to stick to 1.73v load idle's a "LITTLE" beeet more hehe :D

its fully prime95 stable at 2.97ghz..working on full stability at 3ghz now.. okok..you guys really got me skared now. so whats a safe voltage? 1.8v? (is that in bios, or in windows idle or in windows load??)

thanks for the advice :) will surely bring the voltage down soon once I'm done "playing" with it ;)

okok..cool it guys :) I just honestly don't think it'll die at that speed. hence i'm running it there. 'sides its only 1.76v under load ..

whats a few bucks to a multi-million dollar company right? :D

I figured whats going to happen? IF and only IF it really dies, whats going to happen? the shop will take one look at the chip and find nothing wrong with it and hafta gimme a new chip? don't tell me they can "see" the electromigration or whatever it is that kills these things from overvoltage...

Epox 4G4A+ P4 1.8A pack date 08/07/02 Kingston PC2700 512mb.. 1.85v 1.76v at load 1.8ghz ---> 3.005ghz load temps 44°C WATERCOOLED! screenie here alas its not fully stable..hopefully with some "burn-in"..:(

update :)

thanks for the encouragement! I can smell 3ghz too man..its such a tiny little bit away only..ahhh..hehe when I set +2.75v in bios, instead of 1.775v, I get 1.8-1.82v YET in windows, I get at idle about 1.78v (hmm..thats about "+0.275v"..) at load it drops to about 1.71v.. so I don't know what...
