Death of A64 chips

[Rob423]

yeah..I been away for awhile so i figure'd i post something... Skip over this thread if you don't wanna read it idiot.

80gb Maxtor
200gb WD 8mb cache..
Lian-Li PC-60
LiteOn 52X/LiteOn 811s DVD-RW
AMD XP2800+
LeadTek GF4Ti4200 128mb

If you ever fried an A64 by overvolting, click <A HREF="http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/you.html" target="_new">here</A>.

Thx fucktard for the link, link filters really should be applied, or disabled all together.

I have never killed a P4 processor and I have been very abusive to them in my testing.

that's because its nearly impossible!!!

 

[ZER0]

really why should they ever die? they shouldn't. i wouldn't spend my money on some [-peep-] that could die just because i changed the voltage in the bios. what a bunch of [-peep-]. i could run a northwood at 1.85 volts and rip the hs/f off while running linpack and it won't die.

 

[Ganj]

My brain is trying to come up with a conclusion as to why on earth the chip would fry if its not being overclocked,and on top of that K8s of on die overheat protection.
As far as the Vdimm is concerned uhh,that affects the RAM how would it kill a cpu?

 

[redface]

Hahaha, sounds similar to SNDS.

A fine day!

 

[ZER0]

who knows.. but it doesn't shock me.

My mobo will supply 2.3 volts to the cpu. None of today's processors would survive that. The thermal diode would turn to glass long before it could change state.
As far as why the ram voltage would impact the cpu, it's because of the ondie memory controller. The memory will send the signal to the controller at whatever voltage it is given. If the contoller is on the chip, it will recieve that signal at that voltage.

 

[Mr_Nuke]

1.85volts an a Northwood and survived? 0.13 tech at 1.85V with no subzero cooling? And all survived?
Sounds to me you're an Intel fanboy.

 

[Xeon]

I thought Northwoods burnt out at 1.85v.

[Mr_Nuke]

SNDS only came with overvolting.

 

[Mr_Nuke]

Northwoods burnt out even at 1.8V if not cooled bellow zero.

 

[Xeon]

Oh thought they would do it regardless due to the nature of the cores electrical characteristics.

[Mr_Nuke]

In fact it's strongly recommended that you don't reach 1.75V on Nortwood, 1.8V is extremly high.

Sounds to me you're an Intel fanboy.

zer0 is a well known Intel fanboy.

You can feed NW core as much volts as you want as long as you can cool it. They will refuse to run or throttling will kick in. Ive fed up to 2.1v into the Galatin and 1.97v into northwood cores for long periods of time without any problems.

<b>My sig is better than yours.<b>

 

[Schmide]

Would you agree that the laws of electrical physics change at sub zero temperatures?

Not to say the NW can’t handle the voltage…

You treat your chips a bit different than the norm.
