In Reply to: RE: E7200 should show VID of ~1.12V with temp ~25°C. posted by ninekit on August 07, 2008 at 19:16:21

Well for my setup, it is not possible. But noting that different E7200 could have different default VID and mine is higher than the value posted here.

My current motherboard is not flexible in voltage setting and the voltage is 1.2V. But my guess is that it is not possible because the stock intel heatsink is not very efficient, no copper and no heatpipe, very little fin for airflow. And the stock intel heatsink with fan off feels very hot. The increase in temp. will cause a rise in (dynamic) resistance, making the processor draws more power.

With a cheap and tall aftermarket heatsink with copper heatpipe for passive cooling, the situation improves a lot so that heat will no longer be problem even with 192kHz processing.

  Sometimes XP doesn't take the setting and must be redone. With Max Battery power scheme, VID must be lower than normal.

    Dear Cics, when one is building a cmp from 'scratch or the ground up' should one do the hardware set up in
    
    http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/pcaudio/messages/3/33137.html
    
    first then do the Bios and Power set up from CMP documentation 'The art of Building a computer transport' second or vice versa? Or should it be simultaneous?

    • Only do BIOS setup as per post - AOB refers to Biostar mobo. - cics 12:34:45 08/11/08 (1)

      Power setup is as per AOB.
