Memorize a Dead GEM QX9650 Retail | 5.65G @ DI

[VictorWang]

Sorry for the loss Victor, I came late to the funeral pyre....

But I have a question,after all what I've read in this post.

If it's possible to kill a CPU with high VCORES...(electromigration/heat).... is it then possible to kill a CPU by running it undervolted?

While I'm not benching/gaming, I'm running my QX9650 at stock and very stable at 1.15VCORE.

I know this has nothing to do with going extreme pushing the CPU, but I've been playing with tosee how coolI can keep it on air at stock voltages. AFAIK the standard VCORE to run this chip at stock (3Ghz) is 1.25VCORE. However,I'vebeen ableto keep itvery stable and with incredible low temperatures under 1.15.

I've heard people saying that I can do this with no problem at all,while some other people have warned that you can kill a chip because ther is a big difference in the ohms I'm sending with the lower voltage.

Which statement is true then....

better cooling will make the cpu BARE higher volts, that's no doubt.
most likely to kill the chip might be "mobo" & "psu",
if mobo's OCP value is too high, the cpu might be killed under Low Volt, same things also happened on memory.
for yorkies, i will not use it >1.4v for 24/7.

It totally sucks to lose a great cpu, I hope the replacement is a monster as well.... I had an E6700 that did 570+ fsb on water and it died before I get a chance to use ln2, never knew what happen cos I was trobleshooting my mobo when it happened... I left it alone for a while and it fired up after a few weeks it was running really hot though so I took off the IHS, cracked the core and now its really dead lol.....

debugging mobo should be the most often situation to kill a cpu

1.8 volts to a penryn and u killed it(electromigration).heh i bet intel can tell u fried it and might not replace it...goodluck i guess.

I dont think so, Intel wont care how much volt u put on the chip.
they care only wether the chip is phsically damaged or not.
