1700 B (DUT3C) needs 1.8v @ 2.2GHz the norm?

[Banyan]

As the title says... 150MHz jump needed about .75v increase, just wondering if it's pretty normal, and also if 1.8v is relatively safe (?). TIA guys...

*if this is a dumb question don't answer, i'm still relatively new to oc'ing*

Sounds about right to me. Should be safe, too. You may get around 100mhz more with your SLK900U at the same voltage.

cool, thanks for the reply. backed it down, just gonna wait til i lap that slk900... at the same time i'm not sure how much further i can push this ram, don't really want to run it at 2.8v.

[Gautam]

2.8V is perfectly safe. I wouldn't worry until past 3.0v, and even then, with good airflow, this is safe.

With a DUT3C with that heatsink and good fan I think you can go even upto 2v or at least 1.95volts without much worries. Also that OC sounds just about right for a DUT3C

[Banyan]

again, thanks for the replies... this weekend i suppose i will up the voltage to the ram, and see how far i can push with the slk900u/92mm tornado. i'll maybe pull my truepower 430 out of my server and put this 380 in there if i need to.

Note that overvolting to 1.95 V or 2.0 V is a 22%-25% overvolt.

I respectfully disagree that 25% permanent overvolt is the thing to do.

15% overvolt to 1.85 is what the majority of people feel permanent overclocks should be. This is because it appears that more and more people are posting here that after a while you may not be able to overclock the CPU as high as you used to if you do 25% overvolts.

You're missing one thing tho, the DLT3Cs running at 1.85volts, get the same %age in increased voltage, same 23% percent...

Yea it can't be TOO healthy for the chip. But the risk factor is just about the same as running a DLT3C at 1.85volts..

I wouldn't feel comfortable running my CPU at 2.0v. But if you got the cooling power, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

I think that looking at bare numbers is useless, sure 2v looks like lots of voltage for a chip designed to run at 1.6. But as I said, 1.85v is just as much in percentage increase over 1.5 as 2v from 1.6. All I'm saying is that with a DUT3C you'll be just as safe running it at 2v as you'll be safe running a DLT3C at 1.85v
