Core i7 Vdimm/VTT Graveyard :D

[sakelover]

3835A730 i7 940, 3rd memory channel died last week. Was running only 1,7V Vdimm 24/7, around 1,45-1,5V VTT. Used 2V for like 5 minutes when I first got it, but its IMC never even could handle 1600Mhz on the rams stable. So I am guessing its IMC was flawed to begin with... on phase change.

I have been running over 1 month now 1.5Vcore and 1.5VTT 24/7 no problems whatsoever (Vdimm is only 1.6v though). I have 1 pig of an i7 920 that NEEDS 1.5v Vcore and 1.5v VTT to get 4.2Ghz stable, if I lower my voltages even 1 notch, P95 BSOD in less than 30min, even if I play with the other voltages or keep them on AUTO, still needs same Vcore/VTT! I got a bummer of a chip!

CoolerMaster V10
(V10: P95 loads to 80c at these volts (1.5v). Stock Clocks: V10 hardly breaks 50c or then TEC kicks in and drops below 50c, and then back up, keeps fluctuating 45-55c running P95)

btw
my chip needs such high volts, I am kinda hoping it will just go ahead and die!!!
