    I'm posting here, because I know people such as Pilot, Kam, have similar/hard similar procs in their setups. I know there's a devoted thread.

    Anyway......

    So, I began undervolting my x7800 finally and wondered how people are running theirs and on what voltages?

    I'm at 1.18V at 3.0, while 1.2550 is orthos stable, 1.18 seems stable for CS: S.

    I was oddly at 1.375 volts reported by cpu-z before RMclock Utility..... which I find strange... My VID is now reported as 1.2625.. strange..


    Any input of volt per multi would be appreciated! Thanks! :D

    I could get mine to 1.13 @ 2.6GHz, although I had a lot of cooling problems.

    But, was it stable? Maybe I should try fiddling around at 2.6. I run pretty hot with this heat in the on campus dorms.
