Max Vcore for T-Bird

[Chumpman]

Hello, first of all, I'd just like to say hello to everyone, this is my first post at AT (although I've been lurking for a while). So anyway, I guess I'll post my specs out here:

EPoX 8RDA
Kingston ValueRAM 256MB PC2100 ()
Visiontek GeForce 2 Ti
AMD Athlon T-Bird 1.0 @ 1.4 (133 FSB * 10.5 multi)
Model # begins with AXIA
Volcano 9 HSF
No case fans D)
Enlight 360W PSU

Anyway, this is post is kinda a two question in one post. First of all, when I was going for 1.47 (11 * 133) with my chip, I had to up my vcore for stability. I took it up to 1.925 where promptly my old PSU (a POS mind you) crapped out on me. Anyway, I was wondering what is the highest vcore I would be safe in taking this, as well as temps. I'm not sure which temp monitoring software I should use, right now I'm running SiSandra 2003 Professional and temps are ~49 idle and ~55 full load. I'm running at stock vcore as we speak and I'm completely stable. What do you think is the highest I should go? Thanks in advance.

You probably don't want to take it over 1.85V or else your computer will probably die out in a few months.

Yeah, dont go too high, T-Bird's cannot handle a lot of extra heat aswell! They were the hottest things AMD produced, heh!

ran mine at 1.85V for 2 years with no problems

my friends @ 2v for 1.5yrs

mine was at 85C + for .5yrs lol when they say max temp should be 90C....
my measurement was from inside socket thermsistor (a7v)..not even one that you can bendup and touch....so undoubtedly it was much hihger

they are tough mofuggers
