Paranoid Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Today I finally got my Athlon XP 2600+ to remain stable @ 2.4GHz with a 400MHz FSB. Had to push the voltage to 1.85, but since I reapplied Ceramique it has been staying cooler. Hope my Thermaltake Ducting Mod comes soon, because that will help keep down the temp. Full load - 49C, will be lower once I lap my Volcano 11+. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 1.85!!! YOU'RE INSANE. Anyway, you've removed the grill on your Volcano, right? Cause that really improves air flow and quiets it down a little Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Surfer Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 What's wrong with 1.85? Some of us are higher than that!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dignan Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Higher then 1.85 on a Thouroghbred B or barton core? That is freaking nuts, and stupid. You won't get much life out of a well air cooled chip at 1.85 or above. If it was okay to run higher then that, we would all be running our 2500+ @2.5V at 3000mhz. The higher the Vcore the less life you get exponetialy. A chip at 1.85 Vcore will last 1/4 the time of one at 1.65 At some point the 50 mhz for .05V isn't worth it.

FanATIc205 Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 lol 1.85 is common. ive seen people running 2500+@2500mhz 2.1 volts on a slk900. some peoples theroy are these chips are so good at overclocking and cheap .so what if they fry one every 3 months lol . me im a temp nut and try to keep my cpu under 55c and will use as much voltage untill my temps hit 55c.

exeter_acres Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I run at 1.85 quite a bit, would run higher if my board allowed it.... Â 49c with full load on V11 at the vCore is not bad...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Surfer Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 (edited) There are very few overclockers running a Barton 2500 @ less than 1.85 Vcore at 2400+ mhz. To go beyond, then liquid or vapour cooling is the norm. Besides it's a well known fact that heat will kill a barton before voltage will. 1.85 is the norm for most serious overclockers.

C0DE Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 that would have been a sweet o/c if it was the 2600+ barton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get a random reboot and a explorer.exe error. But check my sig to see my current settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy54354 Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 i thoguht it was ok to run high vcore as long as u have good temps. Am i correct? I average out at 46C full load on a 1.825 vcore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 For a thoroughbred, my 2600 overclocks extremely well. The highest I ever got was 2.5GHz (200x12.5), but it would only stay in Wndows for about 20 minutes before it would crash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
