You can get away with about 0.9V at stock clock speed usually I think. As for the overclock, I don't think your board can be entirely to blame for requiring more voltage.

opposite actually. the lest volts going through, the less you can clock. it just means you can run the chip at stock, on lower volts

I don't wish to be rude here. Think about what you just wrote carefully. It should pretty obvious what the answer's going to be.

if it was naturally 0.9 then presuambly, yes. but if 2.4 dont work with less than X, then even if you lower it before OCing, itll still need X

Yup. What a lot of people do for PCs that don't see much demand is drop the voltage by quite a substantial amount and underclock it until it's stable. A 2.66Ghz CPU may use 70W normally at say 1.3V, but if you can get it to 1.0V, even if it only runs at 1.8Ghz, leave it at that, and enjoy half the power consumption. It's something I'm considering doing with my server, it doesn't really need all the power of a 4200+!

Greetings GTR35, yes I'm back, I have some time again to play PCs and such like.
Going back to your last question:

Damn sam, you get too much cash!
It has being so long, CPU are getting smaller and smaller but it still havn't break 4ghz stock speed why?

It does seem odd, but thinking about it, they don't need to. An E8400 at 3Ghz will kick the living daylights out of a Pentium D at pretty much any single figure Ghz you can think of!

I'm sure a E8400 wont be beating a Pentium D at 9ghz. You know 9 raised to the 10th power.
In my find that's a single figure...

Not really, I see 9^10 as just that. A single figure will not contain powers unless it's the answer of something that does.

LOL! i love watching you two argueing, it's seriously entertaining.
Just wonder why, matbe in another 10 years there will be a cpu at 5ghz stock speed. Thats gonna be awesome
Btw What will nvidia's next gen graphics card called, after the 9-series.
the X(roman numeral for 10) series?
And how small will the cpu go? 90nm -> 65nm -> 45 -> 32 -> ?
Sorry just really want you guys comment or thought

Its not the speed that matters. it is how many operation you can do at in one cycle.

krj15489,

Speed matters, as without it there's not as many clock cycles to begin with! That's where the memory comes in. Most of those clock cycles are controlled by the memory timings, and I don't mean just the 4-4-4-12 settings! I have a slew of sub-timings I can adjust in my DS3R, and I've spent months gaining clock cycles by tightening up all of them, one clock cycle at a time and then testing! They do add up! It fattened my memory bandwidth up by over 5000MB/s to 7800+MB/s and has improved the throughput to the extent that it's noticeably faster in operation. Even though Sandra shows a minimal improvement in CPU Math numbers, both the memory bandwidth and the Multi Media scores improved dramatically.
I've lowered my CPU speed from 3.55 to 3.5GHz, as 3.55 was about the limit for my memory, until I can get some Crucial Ballistix 1066 memory to replace it. I just didn't like sitting just a couple MHz away from a crash! I've gained back all but less than 1% of the speed I lost dropping the CPU 50MHz, and it's a much faster machine overall. I just did my first ever under 40 minute DVDRB/CCE 2 pass rebuild! Well under 40 minutes, at 35:10! A little over 5 minutes faster than when I did it the first time, before I slowed the computer down!
Less clock cycles = faster throughput = a much faster computer!
Best Regards,
Russ
