Bored...going to push my CPU to the limit...

[Manzelle]

Right now I am at 1.925v and 2.366GHz (206x11.5)...I am willing to go to 2.15v and 216x12.5 (2.7GHz)...I idle right now at like 38C so I don't think this will be too much of a burden on the ol' XP 2500+

I may slap a fresh coat of AS5 on there first though...I let you know how the results turn out...with pics (if successful)...

Looking at my set up I think VDIMM @ 2.9v and VCORE @ 2.0-2.15v should do it...maybe I'll up the VDD to 1.8v as well...

 

[Soulkeeper]

that's way too much voltage imho
i've fryed a couple athlons with less volts than that

good luck with 2.7ghz
just make sure you get some benchmarks before it frys

 

[MDE]

Good luck, I'll start the memorial fund for a new CPU for you...

 

[Manzelle]

Well, I am at work right now so I won't be able to do this until like 9am EST...I've been itching to switch to the Mobile 2600+ anyway so if by chance this does kill my CPU at least it gives me an excuse to grab the new chip...

 

[magratton]

Course, you could always sell that Athlon 2500 for $30 and only have to spend $50 on the mobile....

 

[Manzelle]

I could...but that's not as fun...chaos shall commence shortly...

 

[MDE]

Report back on your progress .

 

[Manzelle]

System wouldn't even post at anything over 2.00v - sucks...

 

[jswjimmy]

That sucks and is good in a way.
now you can sell the chip

 

[DaNorthface]

the 200-300 extra mhz isn't worth $80, is it?

 

[lobadobadingdong]

I don't see much over 2.4 on air.

 

[Shimmishim]

uhh... what board are you using?

i've done 2.6 on air before but 2.7 is pushing it

Epox 8RDA3+ Rev. 3.2

with most bartons I've found once you get over 1.8 you only can really hope for another 100-200 mhz. I was rock solid at 2.5 with mine at 1.85 on air and only made it to 2.6 at 2.1V (I didn't keep it here for long) on water
