when you overclock, you will notice that the temperature rises
if you can't pass 2000+ that means you have reached the limit of your chip
try upping the fsb
btw, welcome to AT Forums:)

does everything work okay at 1700+ speeds?
if it does, then your overclocking is causing problems obviously
could be insufficient CPU cooler, not enough CPU voltage, need a more powerful power supply. etc.

Is that a Palomino or Tbred? Definitely look at your cooling before increasing speeds and CPU vcore. I have my Tbred 1700+ at 1.65vcore and that allows me to go to 1900 (raw speed)
