    I didn't know this chip could go this high, but it's been pretty good. Runs hot though. The memory (I think is some Hyundai brand) overclocks impressively.

    My Disk operations went down and memory went up from removing the T9900. The SSD got slightly slower as expected over time and use. I don't know why the P7450 @2.67ghz is scoring the same as a 3.5ghz T9900 though in WEI...

    Can I ask where you got your ram from (also what model is it)?
    I would really like some :).

    Your voltage is so low, very nice.
    When I put my T7300 and T8100 to 2.7ghz I needed at least 1.15V (1.2v for the T7300).

    @Moral Hazard, I wouldn't trust that voltage at all. CPU-Z is total crap at recognizing voltages properly, at least in the G series laptops.

    Hah! I was hoping the mobo would give it some more juice for stability... it's not like temperatures are great at these low voltages right?

    They are Hyundai brand DDR2 ... let me see:

    Interesting, I didn't know this... what's a program that will accurately read Voltages on the Gs?

    The only one that instantly read my voltages properly was CPU Genie, RMClock, crystal CPUID, and CPU-Z all read them improperly (bouncing between 1.00v and 1.263v while at max load in orthos)

    Looks like you have hynix chips on your ram.
    My 800mhz ram can't even run stable at 900mhz.

    Thanks for telling me the model number, +rep

    Looks like CPU-Z is right this time, CPU Genie reports the same:

    Yea, technically it's just running 100mhz faster than its rated, (400mhz -> 500mhz), which I guess is not bad (25% OC) :)

    CPU-Z 1.51 seems to give me correct voltages. At least they're what I've set using Crystal.

    Yes, CPU-Z 1.51 gives me the correct voltage (1.263V at load). CPU-Z 1.52 gives me 1.15V, which is wrong.

    Edit: If you haven't undervolted (which I assume you haven't since your overclock is massive), I think you should be at 1.25V at load.
