Cooling vs max MHz at default core voltage

[mchomicz]

Hello,

I have a Duron 600 that does a max of 928MHz at default core voltage of 1.6v and remains rock stable.
With a ThermalTake ChromeOrb, the CPU temp is a around 38C (100F) give or take a couple of deg depanind on case temp.

Here is a question: if with the aid of better cooling (a better heatsink; water cooling; peltier) I manage to get the CPU temp down, what are the odds of reaching higher MHz at default core voltage?
Is higher MHz at 1.6v a matter of getting the temp down by, say, 10C or is it more like 40C?
Or is the temp irrelevant, and the only way to go higher is by boosting the voltage?

Thank you,
Michael Chomiczewski

well to get beter conductivity(enough to get higher mhz without upping the voltage) you would have to cool it to below 0 degrees celcius. 10 degrees wont make enough diference to o/c higher. I suggest upping the voltage to 1.8 or 1.9 ans seeing how fast it will go.

Thanks. I've done that. It's stable at 1GHz with 1.75v core.
But what really interests me is how to get it to go faster WITHOUT changing the core voltage.
