Im just wondering, i have the 1700+ DL3TC and in an attempt to get 2.5ghz out of it i tried to do a voltage of 1.95v. It went ok at 1.9/1.93v but would lock up in Prime95 quite quickley.
So i tweaked it up to 1.95v assuming it would help. This got me into Windows but it froze up soon after. It actually made things WORSE! 3dmark locked the system up instantley etc.
So whats this all about? I never realised that CPU's could have a max voltage limit lol - I tried removing stuff like the ATX12V cable to see if it helped but nothing. Its quite odd as i had a 2500+ barton in here yesterday and had that running at 2.0v so i know its not the PSU or anything not being able to cope.
I know its default voltage is 1.5v but its the same core as all the other tbreds, just ones that passed the grade at lower voltages... which is why im stumped as to why it wont take the higher voltage.
You reckon burning it in might help? Anyone got some decent site to help with this process to make it the most effective. ta.
