Good OC?

[Moonlapse]

I know this a quite a fairly high OC, but I just want to know if it would be stable and safe. I'm running a 1700XP (1.47ghz stock), with the B core. So far I have it running at 190x11 = 2.09ghz @ 1.7v. Have OCZ PC3200, but I CAN NOT run it at 200fsb @ 2-3-3-6 timing, PC locks up about 10 minutes in. Temps are not a issue (36 idle, 41 load), but the thing I am concerned about is with an OC like this, if the CPU will still be able to last quite a long time, and if I have the proper voltage running through. I don't know much about overclocking.. just that I don't try to push it too far.

1.7v isn't too much voltage for a t-bred. 2.1ghz is a fairly nice OC too. But the CPU should run for its regular amount of time (I would say at least 5-7yrs.). Plus its not a very expensive processor either.

Sorry. 2.1ghz is not "quite a fairly high OC"; it's average for that chip. 2.3 is "fairly high" and 2.5 is "very high". I would pump 1.85v through that thing if you have good cooling. You have the potential to hit 2.3 I would say.

2.2ghz on a tbred is not the same as 3200+ for they are different cores. 2.2ghz on your old tbred is about equivalent to a 2800+ (barton).

For me, it is . I should be able to hit 2.3 with air cooling (Volcano 12+) - correct? 2.5 is risking it too much. If I were to go 195x11.5 = 2.25ghz, would 1.75v be sufficient enough?

Who said it was?

its good, my xp1800 only runs 300mhz faster at the same vcore. lol. dont mind me.

btw do you know the steping.
