    What's the best and lowest voltage did you get on your T9300 on all speeds?

    I have mine set at 0.95V on everything (the lowest it will let me) with IDA being unused.

    Had my 1720's T9300 UVed all the way to 0.9v @ 12x multiplier. No BSODs while stressing for 5 hours.

    But now using the X9000. Got it UVed to 1.03v stable @ 2.8GHz. The machine isn't with me now, so I can't remember the exact figures.

    I got the 12x multiplier to 0.9625v for the T9300. It is stable, tested for 4 hours. Is this good?

    Hey that's not bad. What kind of temps do you get? As far as possible, 4 hour testing with no BSODs it's quite alright. Also monitor the T9300 over the next few days - and weeks and see how stable it is. See if you get any BSODs while doing around your daily activities. ;)

    I remember now, I believe my T9300 had same voltage as yours; it ran for over a year, and it was swell.

    But hey, some T9300s processors have different UVing abilities; some BSODed when it got down to 1.0xxV :(

    I also get 0.9250 on every other multiplier other then 12.0x. I get 55-56C from stressing for a couple of hours. I think I get 28C to 35C on idle or browsing and listening to music.

    OT: Do you take of the Vista or XP and Intel stickers off your palmrest or wherever they are located?

    Sounds great! But if you get 0.9250 for 12x, then proportionately other lower multipliers' voltages can go even lower. ;) Very good idle temps you got there.

    Well, my Dells don't have those stickers, they only have the Centrino and Windows Vista badge on it. Good thing that it's small. I hate laptops with so many stickers "advertising" its specs. A bit spammerish IMO...

    No no, My 12x is .9750 and the rest are .9250. My laptop would be BSOD all the way if 12x was on .9250!

    Run orthos for a good 2-3 hrs and if its stable it is fine.
    Most likely you may have to bump up the 11th multi a little, maybe to 0.9500 just to be sure your stable.

    Okay I bumped up 11x to 0.9500. I am pondering on whether or not to keep 11x at .9500 or .9350 which are both higher then my original 0.9250.

    Load is ~45-50C (running a massively parallel code for 12 hours straight)
    Idle is ~20-22C (woo for SuperLFM) ~28C without SuperLFM

    Voltages attached (I didn't get as low as some people :()

    How did you get the temp that low? My voltages are lower then yours and my idle is like 35!

    Oh that explains. I didn't read carefully... :D

    Well it depends on the thermal design of notebook. My friend has the same Asus F8Sn setup, I personally find it has an excellent temperature control especially on a 14" notebook. I also helped him UVed the T9300, got the same temps as Dire NTropy's F8sn.

    And, if you got thermal paste? That'll be even better. ;) T9300s are known to be one of the coolest temperature wise processors around too...

    I haven't undervolted mine at all....

    Why would I?

    (Battery life - doubt it'll be much of a difference)
