1.95v measured at 1.93 too much?

[kronik1]

Running an Athlon XP at 200 x 11.5.. but need 1.95 VCore to stabilize it when running it at 100% utilization. It reaches 42C at full load.. will I send my CPU to an early grave with that much voltage or should I be ok?

With that setup you should be ok. I belive its not until 2,0V and over that you should start to worry. But then again many have used 2,2v without problems. even if tear would be higher we are talking a 3-4 year timeslot. consider this: will you use your cpu 3 years from now? If not then you go man!

How loud is your Vantec Tornado 80mm for CPU? Is it bothering you?
Did you have to unlock your 2400+?

Extremely loud; no it doesn't *really* bother me but I can't use to phone too efficiently next to my box.

Yes, I did unlock.

Hmmm.... 1.95v, that's over 18% higher than the model 8 max of 1.65v. I'd say you're pushing it. How much can you drop vcore if you back off to 11x?

The chip are relatively knew to the marketplace so time will tell us how well AMD's .13 micron process will take these higher vcore...That vcore is about .25v higher then is safe or recommended on the northwood and many had damage occur after 1.8v.....We will have to wait and see if in the next couple months they starting dieing off....The first ppl are usually the guinea pigs!!!

Good Luck!!!

well with tbirds and axp's many were using 2.1v+ so id say you are good to go
btw raising voltage any amount will cause more wear and tear thus shortening cpu life

i suspect 1.95 isnt too much....
(knock on wood, dont want to jinx your cpu and have it die tmr lol )
