safe vcore for barton 2500+?

[dUFF_Man]

Ok so I was ocing and got to about 2365mhz with 1.85 vcore? Now is this too high (my temps are 47-50 C while running prime 95) of a vcore. I do not want to fry the chip under any circumstances so what do you guys think is a relatively "safe" vcore for my cpu (and please don't say stock vcore of 1.65)? Can I push it any higher since the temps are relatively alright or is there a limit to vcore regardless of temps?

thanks in advance.

1.85v is average overclocking voltage for a 2500 and most tbred b's too. Keep it below 1.9 volts to be safe and running it at 1.9v should be safe but may shorten the life of the cpu a bit. I can take my 1700 to 2376 @ 1.85 volts, about the same as your barton, but being a tbred with smaller die size it runs upto 56C load.

thats a pretty nice overclock. Scottchen has taken his Barton 2500+ to more than 2600MHz. what mobo do u use?

Be careful as ASUS mobos over-volt the Vcore by about .5V from what u have set.

Yeah I got Asus A7n8x I set it at 1.775 but it's actually 1.82 according to motherboard monitor.

I hate Computers! I could only overclock my Barton 2500+ to 2645mhz. My Radeon 9700pro core/mem speed won't go above 410/720. I really hate computers!

yeah, with the Vcore set to 1.65V on my A7<b>V</b>8X the BIOS and MBM5 both read out the Vcore as 1.71V.

That is because Asus likes to overvolt the CPUs at default to make their boards look more stable.

I love my Delta 60HP 7000 RPM fan that puts out more dB then CFM

thot so, then i read it somewhere in the forum that Asus indeed overvolts by about 0.5V.
