    Lower temps by undervolting/underclocking?

    EIST (SpeedStep) reduces your vcore and cpu multiplier depending on load- each vcore/multiplier pair is known as a p-state- this shouldn't be confused with an offset voltage which can either reduce or increase your vcore across all p-states.

    Lower temps by undervolting/underclocking?

    I wouldn't accept the statement that those CPUs are "already undervolted" out of the factory. They may be assigned a lower default vcore and frequency, but there are always tolerances which are accounted for in any sort of production line. I'd suggest going to the 'OC Tweaker' section of your...

    GTX 670 VRAM Overclock

    On the front: there are two chips which can be "hooked up" to the main heatsink using some thermal tape. There's a 3-4mm gap between chip just above the PCI-e connector- the one opposite it has a smaller gap (around 2-3mm). I placed two Modmytoys mini-heatsinks on the edge of both of the...

    Son, I Am Disappoint. (Sandy Bridge Custom P-state Management)

    So- after searching high and low for a good number of hours- my finding is that the only people who have managed to hack their DSDT tables/customize SpeedStep are the dudes not running Windows. How disappointing. Being a Phenom II owner in a previous lifetime, I found much joy in being...

    GTX 670 VRAM Overclock

    Thanks for the replies guys. I've found that my clock speeds remain the same regardless of memory frequency- I've seen my GPU throttle down upon hitting the 122% power limit set in Afterburner- but I attribute that to 100% utilization. Doesn't seem like memory frequency makes a huge or even...

    GTX 670 VRAM Overclock

    I might be completely off my rocker (not surprising)- but my vram appears to run at 7.6ghz with no trouble at all. Kept going up by +50 for quite some time- then figured something was a bit nutty so I set the memory to +1000 in Afterburner. Started artificing, so I turned it down to +800. No...
