The Wolfdale Vtt ( FSB Termination ) game.Place your bet!

I think this testing is faulty, as there may already be damage to the cpu but it has not shown itself yet.

Not really.
Check my next reply under your quote.

LoL. Don't read the forum much?


Already did. Noticed increase of temps @ stock, previously voltages for boot @ overclock increased, blah, blah...

You can run the High VTT, but then you need to test to see what effect it has had, simply running the cpu till it dies tells nothing. Every cpu will die, given time.

I'm not running stock.
Haven't noticed any temperature changes, no degradation ( I have my paperwork with every single CPU's stable and benchable frequencies along with the voltages used to achieve those ) [ and these notes were taken on day 1 of each chip ].

[ Edit: Didn't pay too much attention at first, mis-read your post, sorry. ]

Before switching to the next VTT step, I'll also check the CPUs with LN2 and see if they can reach the same frequencies as before the "burn in".
The air overclocks are already being checked ( since they're running at those clocks ) [ and for the ones that I'm running higher Vcores I'll drop them and check again at the end of each week ]
