Intel answers rumors of Core 2 Quad price cut... sorta

Published on March 16, 2007

The Internet is abuzz with rumors of a massive price cut in Intel's Core 2 Quad processor later this year. According to HKEPC.com, the price of the 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Quad will plunge 70% from its current price of $851 to $266 in the third quarter. Such a massive price drop would make the quad-core chip cost less than what most dual-core chips are selling for now, but are the rumors true? Intel's Public Relations Manager Dan Snyder pretty much gave us the standard corporate answer. Read more

I got my CPU to 2.8GHz with a 1600 FSB. Im using 1.3 Volts and seems to be stable. My temps idle are about max 35c and 60c under load. I couldn't keep it stable at 3.2 GHz and keep the volts under 1.4, I don't want to go over 1.4. I heard of many people hitting 3.2 easy am i doing something wrong? Here are all my settings.

Is my cpu volt suppose to match my NB volt? I disbabled so much stuff I'm not sure if I had left it enabled some of it if it would have helped me or not, if you know please let me know. Also I have some things just on auto but that might be wrong to. My goal was to have the multiplier 8x and the voltage no more than 1.375 or 1.4 max.

Turn your fsb down to 333 and put your cpu multiplier back up to 9, and keep your ram at 800 unless it can go higher. Voltage at 1.4-45 should be sufficient, you shouldnt have to up your nb voltage, leave that at stock

I changed my FSB to 333 left ram at 800, 9x multiplier. I changed my nb volt to auto. Now are all the other settings good to? Should any of the stuff I have disabled by enabled and are all my autos ok on auto?

Wow we almost have the same Configuration lol the only difference is I have ZEROtherm BTF90 n a 7800GTX
I have mine set at @ 3.1ghz it wont go past 59c. I was able to reach 3.2 by a simple FSB increase but i'm afraid my ram would give in cuz its only DDR2 667

Make sure you have the latest Bios. I'm sure when u have the latest one u should be able to reach your goal. I had the same problem it would not make it past 3.2ghz.

I have the default setting i just changed the FSB to 333mhz n my DRAM freq to 667. Its rock solid
