red930 Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 In general, the Costa Rica CPUs are better than the China versions when it comes to overclocking. At least, that is what I have seen so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordf250 Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 What Vcore are you at? It takes a big jump to get to 4.1-4.2G , my Vcores are 4G-1.475V, 4.1G-1.55V, 4.2G-1.6V and 4.32G-1.65V. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHoVa Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 cant go past 4Ghz due to my aircooling!but@4Ghz my vcore ist max 1.37 and min 1.29 according to cpu-z...need H2O cooling:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alinosa Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 What Vcore are you at? It takes a big jump to get to 4.1-4.2G , my Vcores are 4G-1.475V, 4.1G-1.55V, 4.2G-1.6V and 4.32G-1.65V. OMG, will the cpu start to degrade form these voltages or no? i have mine at 4.2 (see voltage in sig) under good watercooling, and i have some time this smester to tool around with my rig. i was thinking of trying to hit 4.5G's... i'm not sure if my memory will let me though. anyways, is that much voltage going to degrade my chip?

red930 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Yes...in conjunction with the heat being generated if it is not properly dissapated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alinosa Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 crap, oh well good to know. my temps rarely go over 35 C under every day use and rarely over 40 under 100% load, so i guess i have a little headroom... i've read that 1.5 volts is safe, but how much higher can people go to achieve their max o/c without danger of degrading the chip?

red930 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 That is a question only you can answer by experimenting. There have been been people who have pumped it up over 1.6v and are doing fine while others haven't been able to go above a FSB/clockspeed even with the higher voltage.
