    Failed at 1.100V. Looks like 1.150V is the ticket for my wafer. That's pretty impressive though.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    Hi,

    If I understand correctly you find a stable combination at 1055T 2.8GHz stock and 1.150V Vcore. How much of temperature decrease under full load versus standard core voltage ?

    At 1.15V, full load is about the same as 1.35V's idle. (~23C) That's about -10 or -15 or so degrees.

    Have you tested wattage using a Kill-a-watt or similar device and compared stock voltage power draw vs 1.15V also? That would be something interesting, as it may make this an excellent choice for an all-round HTPC.

    Perhaps also with Turbo on and off? Turbo voltage appears to be relative to core voltage, not just a fixed value (despite what the BIOSes/AMD release info on most major review sites state). I could be completely wrong here, but increasing voltage with turbo on seemed to increase turbo voltage when turbo was active also.
