I just thought id post this, some other thread in here inspired me to see how low i could go. I figured why not becuase the AMD 1700 DLT3C 310 ran so hot at 2.4Ghz i couldnt even do it anyway. So, i wanted to see how low i could get the vcore. For some reason becuase it is still pretty hot here, i kinda wanted to generate as little heat as i could and see how cool the system would run and still be reasonable in speed. My ram and nbridge isnt that hot at 166 fsb, but it starts to get warm above that. So, i instantly set it to 1333 Mhz, and i thought id try it at 1.4vcore, it ran stable, 1.2 stable, and theni cranked it as low as it could go, 1.1, and becuase of a crappy PSu, it kinda runs between .98 and 1.07 vcore or something like that. Still stable. Im gonna see if i can get it to 1.47 ghz on 1.0vcore.
guess how many watts my cpu makes? 17. I think thats maybe just a little bit warmer than a northbridge. My internal CPU temp sensor registers 28.0C under load, my cpu surface temp registers at 26.0C and the temp sensor 3 cm away from the nbridge reads 30C
Why did i write this? becuase, just to let you all know, if you ever need a quiet system that will run with very quiet slow spinning fans and not overheat, the DLT3C 1700's and 1800's are pretty good for that. Im gonna try later on and see if i can get my volcano 9's smt fan 2 to run at 1500 rpm and still cool the cpu. I made a thread in gen cooling about the newer volcano 9 and smt fan 2 on how it has been improved, and one of those was that the usually smt fan 2 whine seemed to be elimated, so instead of making a "errrrrrrrrrrrr" no matter what, it now dosent make that noise, and at anything lower than 4200 RPM, you can not even hear the motor, or at least i cant. but all the air moving is still audible though. but It runs perfectly silent at 1500 RPM.
well this way yalls dont think im wasteing a perfectly good 1700 that will do 2.5 on air (gets real hot though), once i get chilled watercooling ill bump this bad boy up to 2.7 ish Ghz
