In Reply to: RE: cPlay 2.0b27 Released posted by cics on June 15, 2009 at 08:37:20
Dear cics,wow, 840 MHz and my system is still running absolutely stable and without any dropouts or so - maybe I should even try to get lower... ;-)
I had settled on CPU Host Control voltage of 0.76875V, couldn't go any lower - tried again today and it seems as if i can go lower now - quite a surprise, I had to do a CMOS reset before when going any lower - is the system "burning in" or somehow getting adjusted to lower voltages over time...?
Anyhow - look forward very much to see how 2.0b27 will perform in a few days - I really believed it when you said "no more new releases in mid-erm", and here we are with (i) a release that has implemented a new and very promising upsampler (I'm not using it currently due to Buffalo32S though) and (ii) a new release with major refinements re footprint and performance - thank you so much cics, life is good :-)
Best,
Robert

Lower CPU frequency allows for lowering CPU VID. In my setup, I have VID @ 0.73750V (one notch lower than before). At this level, CPU temperature (at max load) as measured in BIOS is 35°C and through RealTemp its 46°C/45°C (core 0/core 1).
No, sorry, I have to correct my yesterday's post - a cold boot (system was off overnight) is still not possible with VID values below 0.76875, even with CPU Host frequency now at 140 MHz.
When doing a cold boot before, the system as kind of "standard procedure" always had failed to come up at 900MHz so BIOS always reverted CPU Host Clock Control to "Disabled", System Memory Multiplier to "Auto" and DRAM Timing Selectable to "Auto", which I then always reset to "Enabled", "2.00" and "Manual". A warm reboot was always possible without that procedure if the system hadn't been idle too long (~5-10mins).
So it really seems I can't get any lower than 0,76875V. I would have loved to do so though, since every notch or two down brought what I considered still another (although small) improvement in relaxed audio reproduction with a tad more transparency and less distortion.
Or did I miss something?
