From 61 to 49C!

25/01/13(Fri)10:54

Adjusting the core voltage: 1.296V at load and 0.928V at idle but still at 4.2GHz!
Before it was 1.382V at load and 1.104V at idle.

I do this so the processor doesn't get so hot; current max temp measured 49C, used to be 61C!

This theoretically means I can achieve a higher overclock but I'm not going to do that.

header=[Image Viewer] body=[The image viewer allows you to view the image full screen. You can also use the image viewer to zoom in or out.<br/>Instructions:<br/>Once the viewer is open you will see the image adjusted to your screen size. To close the image us the X button top right or left click on the image, double left click to close in zoom mode. To use the zoom feature us the zoom button top left. In zoom mode the bottom right of your screen will show an indicator of what part of the image you can see. You can use the scroll wheel of your mouse to zoom in and out. You can click and hold the left mouse button on the image and drag it to move the viewer around the zoomed image if it is larger than the screen size. You can exit zoom mode by clicking the zoom button top left to exit it, or exit the viewer completely with a double left click.]

haha, yes the planet and my wallet ;)
I got a Corsair HX850W; very little ripple.
Just for fun I'm also doing a Prime95 torture test. Current max temp is 50C..see for yourself.

>>21961 The glitches would be unpredictable in nature, but highly likely to crash the system. Your power supply is clearly pretty stable so I think it should be fine, it's cheaper supplies with too much voltage variation, low quality regulators, that will really become unstable when trying this.
Excellent way to keep the heat down though, and save the planet at the same time :)

I did run Intel Burn test every time I decreased the voltage (alter, boot to windows, burn, passed, reboot, repeat cycle)
What kind of glitches can I expect?

Nicely done! Just keep an eye out for weird glitches.
