2500+ @ 1.90V OK?

[Wag]

Unluckily I'm on one of the older 8RDA+, so I have to really jack up my core voltage to be anywhere close to stable. Will running it @ 3200+ 1.90V hurt it? With CPUs cheap as they are, I don't care if I only get 1yr instead of 3, as I'll probably upgrade long before it burns-out.

old 8rda+'s make overclocking unstable? ack! i suspected it may have been a board problem making vcore fluctuate so badly on my comp :/

ah well

i have revision 1.1

vdd is too low. I'd attempt the mod but I don't want to risk frying the mobo.

your chip will not last to long

Nevermind. Unstable.

It looks like the VDD mod is the only way to get stable at 3200+

1.90 is awfully high... I would try to keep it around 1.8 and 1.85v MAX for at least a year of life...



But hey, it might last a year @ 1.9v, depends how the capacitors hold up.
