im in the market for a cpu, and i want a flexible one. good overclocking is a must, but it also needs to underclock well too...which cpu can give me the best of both worlds?

If you do a search, someone posted about Tbred B 1700+ DLT3C can do 1.5 GHz at 1 V.
For overclocking, it is well known that it has a good chance to do 2.3-2.5+ GHz at 1.9 V using a SK7 or SLK-800/900 on air under 60 C.
You can run it at 500mhz.TomaHawk47x said:
Well, basically i just want a reasonable computer. for example, the xp 2500+ is 1.83 ghz, but thats too much for me....id underclock to, oh say, 1.2 ghz.
underclock iz good...aznchaos said:How would it be too much for you. Its not like its going to go so fast to where you dont know what the hell is going on. I dont think there is any benifit in underclocking it.

mine does stock xp1700 speeds (1463mhz) at 1.2v - the board wont boot with anything lower.
*thats right BTW, that really IS 26c full load after 30mins lol
these cpus are extreamly flexible - its nice to be able to run at 2.4ghz, but also be able to turn it right down for complete silence - handy when watching a film for example.
i ran my 2100 without a fan for a week crunching seti at 2000mhz but on waterhitechjb1 said:
That is a good applicaton for underclocking, running near silent with very slow CPU and case fans (1500-2000 rpm or below).
When I get my SLK800 setup to run at low voltage (1.0-1.2 V), I plan to test it without CPU fan to see how high the CPU temperature would go.
underclock will extend lifeBuhammot said:Now, will underclocking the CPU extend the life of the cpu? anyone know? cause i can understand the heat issue and possible quieter ideas. but its your bag, do with it what you want.
