SOLVED leakage

[tungureanu]

ok. i would like to know how to determine if the cpu has high leakage or low. and which is best for a norma every day moderate oc.


thx

What do you mean by "leakage"?

Well from my observations low leakage chips are either on better silicon and prevent crosstalk (for lack of a better term) or on normal silicon with lower V and clocks to simulate superior silicon and the high leakage chips need more voltage because they are either on lesser silicon or average silicon and the increased voltage is necessary to overcome the deficiencies of the silicon.

I believe the reason high leakage chips do so well in the cold is because of the molecular transformation that the electrons go through (get in line) when they are super cooled. The atomic structure of the silicon also is altered under extreme cold.

I will look for links to back this up or find my error when I am less busy.

But I believe the extreme cold lowers the leakage level of a leaky CPU.

but i can`t find how to determine if low or high
for example i run the fx 8150 @4.2 @1.320 v and it`s p95 stable. Is that a lot or very few v for the clock i am running?

That voltage is low, you can safely increase it slightly. Keep a close eye on your temperatures.

A high leakage CPU will require more voltage to run a specific speed...

A low leakage CPU will require the opposite... A Lower voltage to run a specific speed.

Soo... Say a CPU require 1.25V to run 4GHZ... And another requires 1.275... The one needing the higher voltage is a higher leakage chip.

Typically... High leakage chips are the ones that we benching team members (read: under sub zero cooling) get the best results out of for some reason... BUTTTTT.... They also tend to die quicker.
