Which would you rather run: higher volt...

[Shimmishim]

Would your rather run a processor at...

lower vcore higher temp

OR

higher vcore lower temp


assuming both run at the same speed

i've noticed weird things about the 0310 w and u

u does 11.5 x 210 @ 1.875 stable at temps around 54 while running seti@home

w does 11.5 x 210 @ 1.825 stable at temps around 56 while running seti@ home


which is better?

i'd go with lower vcore

 

[Shimmishim]

really?

i'm thinking of going with the higher vcore

 

[Elcs]

On air, Id say lower Vcore.

 

[PliotronX]

Lower vcore because temperature doesn't have as significant an impact upon electromigration as voltage does. Plus there's always room for improved cooling to get the temps down.

 

[Shimmishim]

but but... i'm on water

 

[screw3d]

I'll go for lower Vcore too.

But since your "actual" Vcore is less than the general 1.85v limit...why don't you try out how high these chips can go at "actual" 1.85v ?

 

[Corporate Thug]

higher vcore

 

[Shimmishim]

i can't get the 0310 w stable at 2.5

the 0310 u is stable at 2.5... but i'm running it slower right now due to higher temps

...

btw... the 0310 w is dead now

hehehe.. it was bound to happen after going through 11 processors...

chipped two corners of the core...

oh well! another reason to get another processor to test out

 

[Jeff7181]

Doesn't matter if you're using air, water, or liquid nitrogen... voltage will break down a CPU no matter what the temperature is. Go with the lower voltage.

 

[Shimmishim]

hehehe i would but that chip is officially dead

 

[screw3d]

Ohh...condolences That chip has been quite an overclockers

How did you kill the chip? Voltages huh?

 

[Shimmishim]

no..

i chipped the core while putting my water block on..
the surface had a weird bump on it that i had noticed.. iddn't realize it was located right at the corner of the core...

as i was putting the block on.. i heard some scraping / crunching noise... i knew i had damaged the core...

it was an honest mistake... it was bound to happen after 11 cpu's...

oh well... time to get a new cpu to test!

 

[Actaeon]

Lower voltage higher temp.

More voltage is much more lethal than higher temp.

Ah..we'll be waiting for your reports..as always!
I might start doing this during summer when I start working and can leave my PC alone to stress test

 

[Shimmishim]

yeah...

i'll have more time too to leave my cpu's stress testing...

i'll be researching full time and i'll have extra money to buy processors with my 33% assistantship

i'm thinking of building another setup WOO HOO!

but right now, i have two more chips coming

a xpmw 0310

and i'm taking the gamble on an OEM 1800+ DLT3C from newegg... i'm hoping it's a B ... if not, then i gotta sell this thing off

 

[drewdogg808]

with the number of cpu's you go through, i don't think it would matter which you go with.

 

[Shimmishim]

hahaha... but remember i only keep the one i want then sell off the ones that i don't need

 

[Bartman39]

Shimmishim

Coming soon: 0310 XPMW 1700+

I have one right now and it runs 2365mhz @1.80 on air... Best $55 cpu yet... Cant wait to see one on "High quality H2O" (Bobby Bouche)
