im curious as to what benefits this has in regards to overclocking. if i can get the cpu used to severely undervolting and running stably would this increase its OC potential in practice and not just in theory? i got a LBBID i think it is opteron 170 and got it to run at 3ghz on stock voltage but after a reboot i never got it to run at that speed again without windows telling me my config files is corrupted. so basically what are all the benefits a low voltage burn in would bring me? much appreciated
 
Personally I think its just people with new systems who wait to overclock until they have all the other bugs worked out then claim they gained some mhz. On the other hand how will we ever know since they didn't get a baseline to see what the original max was because they were low voltage burning it in? :)

thanks i thought as much well i got a lbbid i think it was and right away i set it to 3 ghz stock clock runs smooth and stable. dont know about prime stable but for 1.34v at 3ghz dual core, i think its definitely kick ass
