No i was pointing at this...



but not to her voltages.

If you play with Vtt a bit more i think you can probably squeeze a bit more out of the cpu.

I'm running a paltry 4.4GHz with 1.3 volts now. This is a chip that tested over 5.1 at 1.475 when run at -109C under full load (HT ON). Not too shabby to be stuck on air. (mid 70s full load) I'd rather see 6-8-10GHz with lower core count honestly but that's not going to happen.

Thats the one voltage that I stand back and scratch my head on :)

Whats safe and what is not is the great debate and only time will tell I guess. The cpu vtt was locked in bios at 1.350. Enough to boot and get the shot any load and it would have crashed the system.

I've read posts online where others have pushed the vcore higher and pumped the cpu vtt in the 1.4's just trying to make it to 4ghz and it's kinda crazy.

I was just kinda trying to get a feel for the chip. Was thinking about envoking the 24x multiplier and play around to find a compromise of 2/4 core but decided that it would most likely take too much voltage to get an OC that would be of more benefit than just running it at 4ghz or so on all cores.
