what voltage did the faulty PIII 1.3 gig run at?

nevermind found it:

It requires the whooping core voltage of 1.75 V by default. Normal Coppermines' only require 1.65 V. This increases the power hunger of that CPU over the Giga-Pentium III (1.7 V) significantly by already at least 3%, plus the 13% required by the higher clock speed, summing up to over 16 % more power hunger. Please forget the fairy tale from the fishy publication that claims 35 W of instead of 33 W of the Giga-Pentium III. It doesn't require more than simple math to see that this claim is just as wrong as the rest published there

no they are right, the 33 watt figure was for the cB0 step p3 1ghz, and the 1.13 was on a cc0 stepping

Specs: 1.75 V

Actual voltage of the chips the reviewers got: 1.8 V.

I'm currently running 1.9 V with my cB0 (which on my chip is default 1.5 V)

yeah me too. i run mine at 1.82 volts. i figure if intel runs their cumine chips at 1.8v then i can do the same fine.
