How high voltage should I go with my 1700DLT3C?
I've had this 1700DLT3C JIUHB 0314MPM processor in a lab server but I was curious how good it could overclock.
My game and general work pc had a 2100+ "B" I got from Newegg and on the 8RDA+ I had it running with fsb set at 200 and with the multiplier at either 10 or 10.5 (I forget), running very stable.
I got some Artic Silver Ceramique so I decided to swap the cpu's. For years I've been using a 6 gram tube of Artic Silver Original so I was hoping for an improvement there as well.
I was getting very disappointing results from the 1700+ at even 1.6v but when I read some threads here about upping the vcore I just set it at 1.7v and ran a game of Will Rock for about 15 or 20 minutes. The result was it ran stable but at the highest temp I'd even seen on this board---46C. I should add that it's 110F outside here in Phoenix and the AC is running almost non-stop. The computer room is warmer than the other rooms at probably 84F.
I'm thrilled that this $44 cpu is doing so well but it has always run way cooler. I'm thinking of very slowly lowering the voltage. But I'm also thinking of upping the multiplier to see what it can do at this voltage, but if it can run atleast as good as my 2100+ I'll be happy until winter.
Does Ceramique improve with age?
Info about my game/work pc:
Antec Sonata case
epox 8RDA+ mainboard
above discussed cpu at
fsb 200
multiplier: 10
(2) 256MB OCZ PC35000 EL
slk-900U
92mm Zalman fan on heatsink
AS ceramique thermal grease
EDIT: At idle it's now running at 38C(case) and 42C(cpu) in the same warm room.
