What's the longest "24x7 running" CPU Processor that you know of?

Here's my offering... The O.P. doesn't specially say it has to be a pc, although I guess some might grip at including this in a PC forum... In Early 1999 I took a contract in Germany for a Y2K complience project. We had an asset list of Vaxes and their location within buildings throughout...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

Short Answer - Yes. All memory I have bought comes with anything from 2 - 4 sets of timing data. The timing data is written on a chip on the memory itself (Called SPD chip). So for example my GEIL DDR2 800Mhz memory has settings for 200/266/400 Your's will have similar settings - the...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

@homonculas: Thanks for your suggestion on the best Bios(2.10) - Not sue why/how I missed that one out ! Will give it a try tomorrow. Re:- Oscilloscope. Nope, haven't got one of them, but I do find that a quality brand Hair-Gel has the same effect for me:laugh: - An MM is about as...

CPU default voltage is directly linked to the quality of the chip. However:- A lower default voltage means you have a more efficient chip (Better build quality). This leads to better o/clocking potential when "pushing the envelope" due to less heat. Not all D805's are created equal :)...

Mr Vain / Et Al, A Belated Update: Took awhile to get hold of some suitable shorting medium to do the voltage update - Ended up using some car rear-screen heater repair paint! Anyway, decided to go for the 1.5 volt mod from Guru Mallet - All went well, and depending on what you use to...

ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

Thanks for the reply Mr Vain. I had spotted a reply of yours in a different forum answering this question, and downloaded CPU RIghtMark. It gave me a STARTUP Voltage of 1.337. Armed with this I am guessing I need The mod for 1.335v defaulters (http://sg.vr-zone.com/index.php?i=3931&s=8)...

Mr Vain. Have decided to follow in your footsteps and go for a h/w volt mod. (Thought that by now, Asrock might have enabled a volt mod in the bios, but have given up waiting...) I am using a D805, and checked the Intel site for the def voltage (shown as 1.25V-1.4V). Armed with this I...
