Post your C3 Test Results! (new title)

Very nice Titan.

I saw your comment on my post in Simon's ultimate thread, and thought it made more sense to pick it up here.

Regarding your comment, yes, of course I started with all at stock. I could hit a max of 3.7 @ stock volts (1.392 indicated in cpu-z). For 3.8, I needed 1.4125v (1.408 indicated). Then I tried for 3.9, however when I gave it 5 bumps of .0125v, i.e. incrementally to 1.475v (1.472 indicated), and it wasn't yet stable, I thought I'd have some fun with the nb for a while instead. I'd like to end up with a balance between cpu and nb speed, and I was curious what the nb would do since my 550be topped out around 2500 stable.

For 2800 nb at 3.8 gig cpu I needed 1.35v to the cpunb. The cpu was at 1.4125. Just for fun I had ramped it from there to 1.4875v to try (unsuccessfully) for 3.9.

With 2640 nb, requiring 1.225v, I stabilized the cpu at 3840 at 1.425v. Trying for 3960, I incremented the cpu as high as 1.5125v, which made it 20 min blend before rebooting, with core temps around 49 iirc.

I'll have more time tonight, so after I take one more stab at 3960 and 2640 nb, I'll pick up where I left off with stock settings, and see what it takes for volts to stabilize 3.9 (last tried 1.475). But an exponential increase in voltage required for the next level isn't a good sign.

Thanks for your input, and raiderman's. These are fun to play with, and I agree with Daveburt's post in the other thread. This is about the journey, about tweaking and playing and trying different strategies. I'm learning a lot. It would be nice if we all had golden samples, but it's luck of the draw. Although I did just pull my 2 month old 550be because I caught c3 fever!
