aiya, me just curious la... i wanna play with comp one last time la... and win something, and put it as a E2OC rig or kitty box.

Fair enough, about the lower TDP = cheaper Hsf.

3.4Ghz on stock Vcore = 377*9?

380Mhz is achievable on stock Vcore if your proc is right and 390Mhz is achievable if ir proc is good. I have seen an L2 step that doesn 400Mhz on stock. Which is impressive

As to batch week and numbers, told you i am not the guy.. and i think its the 2005/2006, whenever the e2 was first released...

should be stable coz its just 40-50Mhz from the native strap of the board if the board is indeed a p35 board.

not hardcore but just... dun wanna say the word la.. ppl only do 1.8V on LN2 or DICE, maybe peltier too.. but this.. is too much.

theres an existing thread on DFI already, there you will find all the answers you need

thats a good cooler, but still not sufficient to cool a 1.7V proc.. Air cooling is not built for such high voltages... only maybe, that too maybe the TR extreme ranges.

ouchies... maybe you would wanna try WC?

yeah, but well, its seriously up to luck if all your procs are M0 and perform not well...

tougher to get 400*8 instead.

not really, maybe the voltages are the same coz its overall the amount of speed that you attain.. but to reach 400Mhz on the fsb is generally tougher than playing with 355Mhz due to technical straps.

u will have faster SP1M readings with 400*8 rather than 356*9 though its 3.2Ghz in general. Its all up to the speed of the FSB For a test, try running a p4 proc which runs at 3.2Ghz (200*16) compared to a 3.2Ghz e2140 (400*8), a huge diff.

older generation only suffices on the heat dissipation and the architecture of the processor. But when it comes to dead basic Pi calculations, this things dont matter IMHO. The Fsb speed rules.

Added on March 23, 2008, 12:42 amand i am trying to put the point to you that FSB does play a significant role in benchmarking rather than overall speed.

i have done it myself, and the results are

P4 640 @ 3.2Ghz (200*16) = 40+ seconds..

Dual Core e2140 @ 3.2Ghz (400*8) = 18+ seconds....

ill get some screenies tomorrow morning and post it here..

i am not trying to compare on architectures doink... i am only comparing on FSB speeds... too bad there aint any one here who would wanna compare 333*9 to a 375*8 on same rams, same processors and same dividers... if there is, please do post up.



read this first liao... then comment.

ok then we will put to test, 400*8 and 355*9 then... anyone.. ill post up a screenie on 400*8 soon and make a comparison to 355*9, we will see a massive difference in times.

anything below 1.46V should be safe IMHO.

eh i thought it was 1.7V... or is it another series... that they allow it.. coz u sent me an attached mail remember...

Added on March 23, 2008, 1:09 amhmm then i am sorry fellas, its 1.5V then

stable Vcore for 3.2ghz (400*8) is 1.38V for me.

i think its normal, coz your speed is what everyone gets at stock speed. Probably you should start thinking about 3.4ghz instead..

Vid is basically a value that the motherboard uses to set the core voltage, and i believe it varies with the motherboard used. Like my abit ip35-e, the Vid, is 1.325V, thats the lowest Vcore that the BIOS has. However, this is not the actual voltage of the core

Added on March 23, 2008, 10:35 amit can said that the Vid of your board is 1.325V as thats the lowest voltage the motherboard gives u to run your proc
