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

An option is missing from the Poll.....Forever

[mrcape]

I've had two wolfdales degrade .05v+ and one die completely. Not from VTT at all though.

Optimist.

Progress Report:
All systems running fine.

I'm getting inpatient here Maybe it's time to raise... the voltages

Well....I've been benching Wolfdales with up to 2.1 Vcore and very high Vtt and didn't have any serious problems until now

Yes Yes ! The CPU wants more POWER !
So basically it will burn no matter what

[zsamz_]

my gut says 1 month @ 1.7

[faithful10]

I have been running 1.50 vtt and 1.408 v-core on my E8400 since april with ultra 120 extreme aircooler with 2*120 mm 28 db fans. I have not experienced any degradation at all yet. Cpu is running at 4027 mhz with 537 mhz on the bus (537*7,5)

[ShArKo]

trus me............connect the CPU to a battery car and you can kill the CPU in the act

Or better then......you can give me the CPU and i will seen you a celeron D 420 in return =P
jajajaja

Cuestion: If the CPU don´t die in 2 weeks for example.......what you going to do? You will test the CPU until he die?

Patience is a virtue.

Stick to your plan, it is very good, this way you will bust the myth.

After 1 month we let you fry then in the name of science.

[BenchZowner]

That is the point.
I'm testing various voltages to see and "guess" ( you need a sample of at least 100 CPUs, preferably 4 batches of 25 CPUs of the same stepping each ) which voltages are safe to be considered safe, others that can be considered safe for benching, and the "deadly" ones aka stay away.

If I wanted to kill the CPUs just like that, I'd just use a 12V supply from a molex...

BenchZowner 1 question what you gonna do if it never dies
donate it to ShArKo

I like that idea

But Im a good friend, so Im going to give him a Celeron D 420

[dinos22]

go Bill go






















so much for the theory that you will kill a CPU overnight if you stress it at 1.5VTT hehehe......orrrrrrrrrrrrr are these two mirracle CPUs

[Vivi]

wow i thought 1.6 was death time!

I feel much safer using VTT now lol

[BenchZowner]

Those bastards are still running fine
I'm going to set up another system as well, with a E8500.
This time, I'll use watercooling for the CPU, and give it a kick-start at 4.5GHz @ 1.7V with 1.8Vtt and 2.8Vpll.

[slim142]

1.7 vcore
1.8vtt
2.8pll

O_o!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but then you won't know what killed it first

since you have 3x systems might as well have one with high vcore, one with high VTT and one with high PLL while the other ones are at stock heheh

[BenchZowner]

Good idea Dinos.
Actually I'm going to make these 7 systems in total in 1-2 days.
Your recommendation/idea is good, so I'm going to dedicate 3 systems to that

[Great Ozzie]

I voted for a day (today) w/o looking at the post dates. Talk about an inauspicious way to introduce yourself to a forum. Well... maybe the Mods were like, "look how this nut just voted."

Haha, good one Great Ozzie.
You just made me laugh ( and that's crazy, since I'm crazy mad at the moment ).
Nice vote

Do that on a crappy air cooler with no fans and lotsa dust and crap, could cook dinner on it after a while, if it made it a while.

You failed at failing man
That won't work at all, because of the built-in overheating protection.
You can't kill a modern CPU that way no matter what you try.
Enter the BIOS, set the highest possible values for Vcore/Vfsb/Vpll, save & exit.
Remove the heatsink and leave the CPU alone and power up the system.
In most cases it will just try to power on and will auto-shutdown in less than a second.
In other cases it may "post" for a sec or two and then shutdown.
No harm done, in any way.

Once again, I repeat, I'm trying to see the effects of various high voltages combined or not in real-life conditions.

[weirkved]

whats the problem of using cpus at 1.6v?
i used to use an e6600 at 1.7v daily, and currently i gave my qx6800 at 1.6 daily...

No problems at all, never burnd any cpu for more than 1 year..
