Keep in mind that the X2 5200+ F3 is an Energy Efficient model with a TDP of 65W. Its stock vCore is 1.20 - 1.25 at 2.6 GHz. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not sure if that result should be considered amazing. But who knows how high it clocks at 1.5v...
Guess I'll get another K8 X2 for my HTPC. Don't think I can wait for Phenom, and I usually steer clear of the first batch anyway.
I've been trying to balance it a bit. I want my sticks to last, so I only use safe voltages. 2.2 v should be perfectly ok, and I've only increased two of the drive strengths to 1.25.
There is a difference between single and dual, you know![]()
