Highest VCore

[tboneuls]

How high can I safely set my VCore? I have a Soltek SL-75DRV5 and an Athlon XP 2000+ Thoughbred B core. Also, when should I set my VCore up; slowly in sets as my system becomes unstable or now, and slowly raise the FSB? Also, what overclocking results have other gotten with this chip? Thanks.

for vcore...

most average useers will say that 1.8 to 1.85 is the max you should use...

but if you wanna be extreme, anywhere up to 2.2 volts is good...

assuming you wannna take that risk!


it seems as though the xp's are pretty durable chips though... i've only heard of 1 xp dying so far and that was Soulkeeper's XP.

1.75 actual volts IMO

1.80v is a good limit, usually anything higher doesn't do very much more with air cooling anyway.
