The Low Voltage Challenge!
TPU is awash with people trying to get 3, 4, or even 5Ghz out of their processor, however an ungodly ammount of voltage is used in these extreme overclocks. I pose the question - "Based on your overclocking range*, what are the lowest volts you can run at certain clock speeds?"
Now I dont want people posting with 1V @ 1.2Ghz, because thats unrealistic, im talking about 24/7 clocks, gaming clocks, benching clocks, etc.
So, the rules are simple. CPU-Z screenshot and a wprime 32M (at least) of your overclock + low voltage. Tell us your VID too so we know how good your voltage drop really is!
Ill get the ball rolling, heres how you would post your score in a minimum - style format, as in we take your word for its stability, etc. however bear in mind this is a work in progress:
3.2Ghz (my 24/7 clock) @ 1.28V game and wprime stable:
Or, you can post a full, in depth view on how well your chip runs on low voltage - I have provided not only stability confirmation but also temperature results, just to show how well my chip handles volts / my HSF handles the heat (This way, people can get much more of an insight into a specific processor and / or HSF, aiding a purchase, research, etc (might I add, the above screenshot shows 1.280V, whilst this on shows 1.288V - this is due to the idle / load voltage nudge, both screenshots were taken with exactly the same bios settings) :
So, how low can you go? Just drop us your screenshots in the same sort of format as above!
*When I say overclocking range, I mean the overclocks that you use most often - my range, for example, is 3.2 (24/7), 3.6 (gaming) and 4.05 (benching).[/CENTER]

I wanted to beat the dude with the 4.3 at 1.3 volts
