Lowering core voltage?

[KaHNZa]

I was previously running my Tbird 1.33@1.46 with a core voltage of 1.85. I decided for some fun I would set my core voltage to stock, 1.75, and see if it would run. Well, after 20min of full load using folding@home, its still running and my temps are VERY nice. They dropped a good 3-4c!! :eek: SO I'm gonna let this run overnight to see if it really is stable. Anyone else have any expiriences like this?

My T-Bird 1.4Ghz would do 1.5Ghz without any voltage increase. A little above 1.55Ghz it would require a 0.1v increase to be stable. Try running Prime95 for an hour or two.

my 1600 does 1.5v stock:D

What kind of temps were you getting with only 40watts of heat?
