X2 3800+ OC to 2.7ghz @ stock (1.4) **Update with pic of proc in OP**

Did you remember to set the affinity?

Also, stick @ 2.7--2.9 really isn't worth pumping the extra .2volts in, it'll kill the chip a lot faster.

Second, bump the voltage ot 1.425 anyway--definetely necessary, undervolting can kill stuff too :brokenheart:

Not sure if I missed it in the post, but what kind of volts are you putting to it?

Why does undervolting damage the CPU (assuming vdimm is within tolerance)?

I am running an X2 3800+ @ 260 x10 using 1.33Vcore

Humbug. I'd really like to hear your explanation for this.

yeah i'd like to know why undervolting kill the chips. please give some detail for a noob.
