I was bored as usual and since i seemed to have reached the max limits of this chip 1.544mhz 1.85v i couldnt overclock it anymore:/ So i decided to try some underclocking instead.

Tried undeclocking too 500mhz which was the lovest setting on my asus a7v133 mobo. But no post had to reset bios, all ppl who got the asus mobo know how a pain it is to reset it....

Then tried 600mhz 1.75 worked fine, temps of 32c loaded and 100% stable running prime95 and games.
Then tried 1.4 booted fine but to my dissapointment mbm5 still showed 1.75v, must be a bug or something with the mobo.
Then tried the lovest voltage which was 1.0v posted, went into bios and checked showed 1.1v, booted windows runned some burning programs like prime, seti and temp results i got was 28c loaded with a fop38 hsw and 100% stable:) the temps when running it at 1.544mhz is like 56c loaded...... I didnt even believe a tbird was capable of running voltages down to 1.0v not even when its underclocked.

So at this speed/voltage it runs much cooler than a pIII and even a cellery!!

This is the lowest my BIOS will allow

Just finished underclocking old comp!!!
K6-III specs:
Speed: 400MHz
Vcore: 2.4Volts
Bus: 100MHz
Multiplier: x4

Now new settings:
Speed: 150MHz
Vcore: 2.0Volts (mobo's lowest)
Bus: 60MHz (mobo's lowest)
Multiplier: x2 (mobo's lowest)

Intel user entering AMD topic.... I have an ancient P-90 I can underclock to 50Mhz. Just a few days ago, I decided to make my system as slow as possible (without underclocking.. jumpers suck.), and turned off both L1 and L2 caches, disabled all shadowing, increased memory timings to the slowest supported, set the IO recovery time to the max, and even turned off the FPU from windows. Start up sound was awesome!

"IIIIIIIIIIII aaaaammmmmmmmmm wwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaakkkkkkkkkkk.................. ............. Pllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeassssssssseeeeeeeeeeeee eeee doooooooon'ttttttttttttt kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllll meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......"

All you underclocking should try to make your system as SLOW as possible. See how slow you can make your T-Birds fly!

You guys should found an underclocker page.
You could make it a sister site of this

www.underclockers.com

Wouldn´t that be cool?!

:D :D :D

p.s. I would love to give it a try myself, but I´m a little worried that underclocking could kill my long time burn-in...(about 1 year)
effects.
