I have gotten wind of a low voltage Prescott. It supposedly runs at 1.154v.

Just think about that boys and girls!

1.154v should bring the temps down to Northwood levels. I hope this is true, and I hope they still have the big cache! Yummy!

And where is this source you claim to have?
 
You guys do realize that lower voltage = CPU requires more amps = HOTTER MoSFETs. As if current i875p boards don't already have enough trouble overclocking presHOTs :rolleyes:
*sniff sniff* Is that burning silicon I smell? :(

The latest board (At least from Abit) have an improved multi-stage mosfet layout, its supposed to help.

Yes, the AG8 and AA8, but we're talkin bout S478 Preshots. LGA775 boards have no probs handling the extra load since they're designed for it.

No it doesn't, lowering the voltage for a given CPU does not increase the amperage otherwise low-voltage variants of processors would not work.
