Essentially, I think this chip can go higher. I'm a lucky one and I have an unlocked Barton (hence the 2.4ghz with a 200mhz FSB and a 12X multiplier). I never modded this chip so... just luck. It?s one of the first Bartons. Anyway, it is currently running at 1.75v and stock is 1.65v. My CPU temps (I have a probe under the chip) are between 38-40c (got to love Zalman).
Do you think I can get more out of this chip with more volts (2.0? and get 2.5-2.6ghz?).
Has anyone gotten a Barton to these levels (2.5/2.6ghz) safely and still day-to-day usable? (it has to run w/out crashing, not just post)
