If 1700+ stock is 1.45, how high can I go??

[high]

I can do 11x200 at 1.45, now my question is how high can I push this vcore as I've heard never go .2 over default, but I'm wondering if it would be cool up to 1.8??

Thanks

As high as you can cool. I'm not being sarcastic. I have run a 1700 T-Bred at 1.85 Vcore in the BIOS (1.875 actual) for extended periods, but I took pains to keep it cool. I've seen others run higher than that.

yeah i have a 1700+ too, anyone know of their highest speed on air cooling?

High voltage will kill a CPU regardless of the temperature. Voltage is electrical pressure, increase the pressure too much and something will break... it's just a question of how much is too much, and WHEN will it break if you give it too much. Most people say 1.85 is safe... I never go above 1.75.

nice chip. is it prime stable?

i wouldn't go above 1.85 and i don't go above 1.85.

cool...yeah its prime stable at 11x200...currently running at 11.5x200 @ 1.6

Most of us think that it isn't good to go more than .1v above stock, though some seem to be doing alright at .15v above stock. Since your chip is a 1.5v chip, I personally think that you'll be able to run it for years at 1.6v. I ran my XP2400 at 1.775v for quite awhile, because that was what it took to run at 12x200, but I recently dropped it to 1.75v, since I usually only took it up to 2.4ghz when someone came over, and was interested. Anyway, it's been fairly close to a year since I bought the chip, and it's still performing well, even though it's been overvolted somewhat the entire time.

DP, damn dial-up *#%&*#!

I usually like to crank it up only to find out what the chip will do, and at what voltage and temp. Then back it down to wher it runs at a decent heat. Hard to really get an idea when the motherboard manufactures are'nt reading directly off the die.

That is an amazing chip though. Is that voltage read with the monitoring programm, or a bios setting?

What kind of chip is that? :Q Prime stable?

It's probably a Thoroughbred B... DLT3C most likely.

Yeah it's probably it, but I haven't heard of one that does 2200MHz@1.45v.. or maybe I'm just so out of the loop.

What I'd like to know is what week is it? =)
