VTT voltage

i was just reading the wolfdale oc thread and how its VTT that kill these chips off and not vcore, as i now have a wolfdale i wanted to know more about VTT.

searched around a bit as i didn't see that option in my bios and found that its called FSB termination on my board, anandtech had this to say about it

This voltage setting is more commonly known as VTT. This voltage is critical for quad-core overclocking. 400FSB will require 1.41V right off the bat if stability is desired.

now when i had my quad i never even touched this yet it was stable at 400x9 so does it really help?

an overclocking guide at the same site says its vital so would i benefit from having a mes about with it?

thats what i thought but i just checked the date on that qoute and its from the Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6 review on anandtech from january this year, cant really find anything more recent.

thanks for the input guys

hi hex

is that the most you can get out of that quad?

Nah, just running it on really low volts atm, not really doing owt with my PC so don't need the clockspeed yet

Will bump it up when I come to play Warhead and FC2

cool, thought you may have ran into problems or something lol.

again guys thanks for the info,

so kitfit, it seems you have ran some serious vcore through your chips. have any degraded or broke? looking to try and get some more out of this chip but never went over 1.45v after reading lots of people say not to go over that.

so say for water what would be the max voltage you would give it for 24/7 usage?
