What voltage should i have going to my 2500+?

[Blackroot]

Question is in the topic, it is on stock atm, i will overclock to 2.2ghz once i get a new video card however.

Anything below 1.75V would be fine.

my mobo has it on auto, should i go into bios and set to 1.75 or something, how do the automatic settings work?

my 2500+ oc to 3200+is at auto and in aida32 it says its running 1.65 @ 2.2ghz

Just set it to 11x200 and leave the voltage. Possible set your ram accordingly (didn't notice what speed you're running) but it will be fine on stock voltage. You basically won't need to touch voltage unless you want to go beyond 3200+ speeds in which case I would stop at 1.75 myself.

I am in a smiliar situation. I am going to get a 2500+ soon here and run it at 14x133 until I get pc3200 ram. If I just get some standard crucial ram (no super ocz or hyperx stuff right now, don't have the $$) can I just change my settings to 11x200? will the cpu be fine at that fsb with air cooling? just curious cause I really want to run at 400fsb.

oh, in case it matters I am using a Abit NF7-S rev. 2.0
My psu is an enermax 350watt, will that be enough?

thanks

btw, what is a normal vcore? I am looking at the mobo monitoring utility and it says my vcore is at 1.74 right now... I have never changed anything so I always assumed this was normal, is it? man, for being below 30 F outside (and only 65ish inside) my puter is still running above 50 C... really annoying

Default Vcore for a 2500+ Barton is 1.65

Edit: are you talking about your 1800+? If it's a palimino, yea 1.75 is default

There are a lot of people running 11x200 with the retail heatsink/fan, you should be able to run 11x200 with pc3200 with no problems, maybe a little Vcore bump

thanks for the replys. yah, that vcore is with my palamino.
