Thanks for that, as well as the article.
I said this before on the preliminary article and I'll say it again... why is the 710 running at a NB frequency of 1600MHz when others on that platform are running at 1800MHz? I've got mine on a GA-MA78G-DS3H with a 2000MHz NB, so the CPU is perfectly capable of running at its default speed. I don't know... maybe I'm missing something here, and I'm very happy for you to tell me what it is!
Additionally, I've gotten optimised steppings of 1.6, 1.9, 2.2 and 2.6GHz at slightly higher (say, 0.25v) voltages than you have and it works fine on the DS3H.
This article is a nice read. Now I can use the tips they have on intel 25w test and this and build a great, cheap and energy efficient HTPC. Just wondering, does this apply on 785g mobos say like the asus m4-evo?
