Good idea or bad idea

[Grunt_Lite]

I have a 2700+ Barton and I have sucesful managed to overcloack it to 2450 Mhz. My goal was 2500 mhz but I cant get it stable at that speed temps arent the problem thoug it seems to be the voltage. When I tryied it at 2450 it wouldnt boot until I upped the voltage. I have it running at 1.856v Im thinking of getting a voltage mod but I dont want to blow the thing up so I am hopeing for some opinions on wether its a good idea to do the mod or not. Thanx

P.S system 100% stable at 2450 mhz

If your system is 100% stable like you said, then there is no reason to modify your system in any way. Simply leave it the way it is. And also keep in mind that 2450MHz is a speed that most of us can only dream of getting from a Barton, so you should be more than happy achieving that.

Btw, what temps are you getting at 1.856v and what's your cooling?

The limit of 0.13micron barton is around 2500mhz.
If my barton can hit 2400mhz stably I would be very happy, I'm jealous with you.

Is it a barton? I thought the xp2700+ was a thorton part. Does it have 512k of line 2 cache? If it is a thorton, you have a major oc there already. With the bartons, the extra cache helps with heat dissapation, generally ocs more.

Actuly youre right it is only 256 k but the core is barton shaped and wasnt sure what to call it. So its not a Barton but a thorton? Thanx for the advice I guess I will stick to the 2450 mhz then.
