A increase in the supply voltage usually allow to improve the processor overclocking potential , but each processors family has a certain safe vcore limit . Speaking in general terms, even a insignificant over-voltage is not greeted by producer.
Associate reported about a problem with the overclock of nehalem generation processors . Bloomfield processors will have the synchronized cores and built-in memory controller voltage ; therefore the excessive memory overclock with increase in voltage can be disastrous for the processor. Exceeding 1.8 v is will make the processor degrade up to the complete failure. The direct death for nehalem processors can become the voltage of approximately 2.0 v.
Working at high DDR- 3 frequencies usually require high voltages. Memory producers will be forced to propose a special DDR3 modules for nehalem platform with high frequencies and low voltages . Associates report that for nehalem processors in real applications , the memory speed (frequency) will be more important than the timing . Related Products :
