currently my celeron tualatin is 1100 running on a measely 100mhz FSB. it is UNDERVOLTED on my SOYO TISU to 1.07 volts, which SISandra reports at 14 watts.

so it is fanless. it is quiet.

i'm kinda adventurous, i would like to OVERCLOCK to 133mhz FSB (SOYO TISU has a weird bug that the onboard sigmatel audio won't work when overclocked. It must be either 100mhz or 133mhz fsb. also, you get weird checksum error defaults loaded when you OC)


but i still want cool and quiet, hence i want to UNDERVOLT. my calculations suggest i need to undervolt to 1.2-1.3 volts to keep it at 20 wattage range.

my calulcations suggest that at default, 1.475 volts, my overclocked cpu will put out around 30+ watts, which i probably cannot cool passively, i probably will need a fan, spoiling the silence of my machine.

between the two choices of faster or more silent, i would prefer more silence, but i want it all baby!

anyone have experience with this? i don't need it prime95 stable, only stable to surf the web, and check email, and write stuff on word.

umm, try it?

if it doesn't work, grab a super quiet 90mm fan, and put it somewhere in the case, just to get SOME air moving. my stock p4 cooler is pretty much silent, once my case sides are put back on. you wouldn't be able to hear it over the fans in your psu, AFAIK
