Need feedback on this experimental setup for cMP²

This is the latest BIOS settings and applies to setups having the lowest CPU VID setting (for E7200 etc. this is 0.85000V) and playing WAV (FLAC may work if output rate is less than 192k).

Try the following (both Gigabyte G31M-S2L and GA-G31M-S2C mobos should do):

  1. Advanced BIOS Features: disable EIST
  2. MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.): set CPU Host Frequency (Mhz) to 150. This should give FSB of 600MHz, CPU of 900MHz and RAM speed of 300Mhz.


My setup is very stable at this low CPU speed.

@Rick - some power measurements on this would be very useful.
