Recommended Vcore for overclocked AMD XP 2500+

[grunt123]

If i want to raise FSB of this cpu to ... say, 210 or 220Mhz ... what's the appropriate VCore? ...

Or, is it impossible to overclock this far? I overclocked it to 200Mhz using 1.7 VCore. ye, and i need to buy a heatpipes cooler too ... the temperature rise is not life-threatening, but would rise above 60C (till 61, 62C) if i play 3D intensive games.

1.7 is pretty good. You can go up to 1.8, "safely." DO NOT go past 1.8.

You'll just have to see cuz they are all a little different. It seems you eventually get to the point where raising the vcore rsults in more heat than FSB gains. At that point it seems like the temps start climbing reaaly fast for each incremeant of vcore.

I think you should bump it 1.725 and see if you can pick up a little more FSB. But watch the temp man! You're already at 61c-ish. Is that a socket temp or diode?

Given that temp at 1.7v I dunno if it could handle 1.8 w/o a better HSF.
