This article is posted on the home page. Has anybody made the same experiences?? Thx
2/11/01 - New overclocking tactic: LOWER the voltage We're getting enough people reporting that they're actually doing better by lowering voltage that you might want to try it.
Here's just one example:
"I bought a Tbird 1100 3 days ago and was disappointed that it would only go 1236 and no higher with up to 1.88 volts. I never would have thought about trying voltage under default, until I read what others were finding. With Abit KT7-raid, Alpha PEP66 and a 26 cfm fan so far I'm getting 1320(110x12) at 1.68 volts, and my cpu temps average about 3 degrees cooler than 1236 at 1.78 volts. It will run 1200 at 1.58 volts! This just blows me away. Well, back to testing."
A few have reported the same with earlier generations of Athlons, too:
"when I was trying to run my Slot A T-Bird 700 on my Asus K7V (KX133), the chip would only overclock if I lowered the voltage to 1.55. Anything higher would lockup at POST."
