Why undervolted? well if you have things set on "Auto", you may well be using more volts than are actually required to run at the chosen frequency, for example our 3960s will run quite happily at just 1.1volts, solid as a rock, 24/7, and as such we use this as our starting point.Ĭontinuity is very important in testing, and for this reason we keep as many of the potential variables as locked down as possible. To begin with we start with the undervolted stock speed. This in turn of course means increasing levels of heat which the coolers need to dissipate.

The test set up consisted of the following
