New System--overclocked X2 3800+ 2.5Ghz stock voltage

[Unkno]

Well, I have an E4 Manchester X2 3800+ that is running at stock voltage (1.35V) at 2.5ghz (10x250).

System:
X2 3800+
Asus A8N-E
OCZ El Platnium 2x1024mb (2-3-2-5 1T)


I'm running two prime95 with affinity set to "0 and 1" with settings of in-large fft and priority 10. I ran the two prime95s for 16 hours and there wasn't any errors, is this enough?


I'm using a Zalman CNPS9500, idle temps of 32C and load temps are 46C (while running both prime95) Are my temps too high, what is everyone else getting (temps and overclock)?

Going to try 2.6ghz stock voltage later tonight...

 

[secretanchitman]

nice setup and congrats on stock voltage!

temps i think are fine...any AMD person want to confirm?

 

[Tu13erhead]

Yep, those temps are fine.

I swear I always get the shaft I cant even run mine at 2.3

 

[Leper Messiah]

Yup, mine does 2.5 on stock vcore too, but I hit a brick wall somewhere beyond 2.6. The X2s don't like huge ammounts of voltage.

Mine does 2.5Ghz at 2.75v, so yours isn't that far off.

hmmm, off by 1.45V, seems a lot to me but that's just my opinion Anyways, i have tried 2.6ghz but unfortunately, it requires 1.375V to be stable at prime95... 2 degrees increase. Would rasing the voltage from 1.35 by 0.025V decrease the longetivity of the cpu by a lot? (how many less years?)


I'll try 2.7ghz later....

Dear God your cpu is in silicon heaven at 2.75v so I am assuming you are confusing vdimm and vcore. You are quoting memory voltage more than likely, LOL.

That's kind of hard to guess, but off the top of my head I'd say that 2% increase in voltage would take like 5% off your CPU's life span just because of the additional heat.

silicon heaven? what about silicon hell (no offence intended)

Unless you plan on using this thing for a decade, I wouldn't worry about it.

hmmm, planning on using it as a server or something else after 5 years or so.....can the cpu last 5 years?

Dude, if an old Duron 600 overclocked to 965 MHz can last for 7 years and still make a damn good fileserver, an X2 certainly can!

one problem, old cpus have a longer lifespan than newer ones due to voltage, temp, and speed...

Last comment makes the most sense.

we woke up and noticed we're not rich and cannot spend cash on a new cpu every 1 or 2 years...
