I am somewhat new to overclocking, however, I have played around w/ various voltages/multiplier/FSB speeds w/ my Athlon XP 2600+. Such attempts were from online reviews:
11.5 X 200 @ 1.8 Vcore
12.5 X 186 @ 1.725 Vcore
12.5 X 192 @ 1.825 Vcore
12.5 X 181 @ 1.8 Vcore
All these FAILED, even when I jumped up the voltage by .25
Although I don't know how stable my current overclock is (11 X 200 @ 1.8 Vcore - Ran Halo flawlessly for about 45 mins until I had to turn off my PC.) I was wondering if that voltage is too high for such a minor overclock. Also, I have been unable to get past that overclock, even w/ loosening the timings and trying 204Mhz FSB. (I don't want to exceed the current voltage).
My Specs:
Athlon XP 2600+ @ 2.2Ghz (11 X 200)
ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe
Corsair XMS PC3200 C2PT @ 2-3-3-6
ASUS FX5700 AGP Card
Thermaltake 480 Watt Purepower
Thermalright SI-97 w/ 92mm Silent Cat
Temps:
CPU 48C/118F Idle
MB 31C/87F Idle
