so i was just fooling around to day and i lowered my vcore to 1.25v, i didnt think it would work but it did. so i lowered it some more. after a while i got it down to 1.14vcore(1.15 but my mobo undervolts). it runs fine i does not freese at all, i even ran burn-in for 3hours.

so how low can you get your vcore with out underclocking?

Edit: fixed the link
Edit: im now down to 1.08vcore(1.125 but mobo undervolts) and still at 1530mhz
Edit: i tryed to get a 1.1vcore but i cant boot, with how much my mobo undervolts i would say i was trying for 0.95volts

very impressive

that would make a nice console or media center cpu :)

the .09u cpu's should start going under 1v this year
wouldn't suprise me to see .75v 4ghz cpu's or something a little ways down the road

That's awesome, on an 1800+ too. Once my 1.35V 35W 2200+ barton comes in, I'll toss it in my Shuttle XPC and see how low I can run the voltage while maintaing fast clocks :)

My 2500+ @ 3200+ will prime (blended test) at 1.6V, I haven't gone lower than that yet. I actually like undervolting much more than overclocking, fortunately for me I can do both with my chip. :)
