Yes, you CAN undervolt and overclock... - Overclock.net

afzsom · 09-03-07

Well, the ordeal is finally over. It took many hours over the course of this weekend, but the test results are finally in. Driving forces behind this little experiment are itslogz, Ben the OCer (his test here), and others who asked if it was indeed possible to do this.

Disclaimer: This test was done on an L631F E6600, with a vdroop modded P5B-E motherboard. Full information about the testing environment can be found in the attached excel spreadsheets. So without further ado, here are the spreadsheets (one is in Office 2003 format, the other in Office 2007 format). (Image attached shows the graph)

Nice work as always. Wish my chip wasnt hungrier than a fat little school kid after recess

This dudes the only reason i ever got a stable overclock/can acheive stable overclocks by myself, keep up the good work.

Yep, that's the beauty of C2D.

I'm running mine at 2.8GHZ 1.25v

I wish the Q6600 Chart looked like that.

I need 1.325v for 3.25GHz, 1 knotch lower = unstable.

Thats pretty good, shows you, you could either run a very low 1.22v at 3.2Ghz or because of the shape of the graph (lowest gradient areas) you could run 1.29v at 3.4Ghz.

I was just experimenting with this today, before I was linked to the thread. Right now, my E6420 is at 2.8 running on 1.225V. Not sure if I could push the FSB any further though. Gonna go try that now.
