vcore question

[Wigwam]

how far/high have ppl managed to O/C the 2100+ with the stock vcore before they needed to raise it?

It depends which type of 2100+ you have, there are Palominos, TBred As, and then TBred Bs. You can check out the overclockers database at www.overclockers.com and see what some other people have been getting. If you have a T-Bred B, I'd say you can probably hit around 2.2 on stock vcore, as that chip used to be a very popular o/cer.

yeah its a tbred-b.
i am assuming that uppin the vcore is the most significant contributor to increased heat - is that a reasonable assumption or no?

very reasonable assumption 🙂

wow thanks - that was fast!
i was planning to up the O/C fro 166x12 [which i have with the stock hsf] and hoping to get to 200MHz FSB [albeit with a dropped multi] and so if i can get there on stock vcore i am hoping that the falconrock2 and extra case-fans i just got [but not yet installed!] will be okay to cool it reasonably....
