Undervolting an 1.4 AYHJA

[Tycho]

Will this damage the processor in any way?
If not, how low have people taken tbirds
down to?

I have a glaciator and i'm running 44/45 idle
on a kk266 with the other two via sensors
are showing 23 and 26 but i'm not sure
what they are for. I would like to drop the
temp a little without butchering my case
anymore than i have to.

well, I wouldn't think that it would hurt it in any way. I remember hearing about people running other t-birds at a lower-than-default voltage and getting a better oc.

The only way to know is to try it :-)

good luck

Well lowering the temp by dropping the voltage is a good idea, but not all CPU's can handle running at a lower voltage. My little AVIA-Y 1gigger has a high default voltage.(1.87v). I ran it high (1.91v) during burn-in and then dropped it down until my system became unstable. I ended with 1.82v. I can live with that.
