Is 1.85v to much

[jiffy]

I'm waiting for my <A HREF="http://www.highspeedpc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=HSPC&Product_Code=XPkit&Category_Code=OC" target="_new">XP Unlocking Kit</A> to come in, mean while I been cranking up the heat. To get stable I have to up the CPU volts to 1.85. Is this pushing it to much, I only use the system for an hour or two at most.

No it isn't but it sure starts to be hotter.
If nothing happens and your temps are still low, then it is fine, you can overclock further. I would not recommend to go over 2V, though I don't know what the V has to be to crush the core.

OK thanks, I was a little concerned, because I haven't push it so hard. It does get a little hotter, nothing I can't handle thought. Thanks again.

dont push it TOOO far though...like my poor old tbird 1200C

got it up to 1500mhz... but needed 2.05v on my epoxy 8k3a+ when i ran prime95 it died allmost immediately with an error
when i clocked back to stock... the errors continued... and even underclocked it was buggered.

excessive speed & voltages can damage the core, far as i can tell the L2 cache was perminantly corrupted.

but 1.85 should be ok with a decent cooler

To bad about your TB. I don't overclock it to much, because I want it to be stable while playing UT. And I max out around 140 MHz :redface: , but I sure need the hole 1.85 to be stable. No worry about going over 1.85, my mobo doesn't go that high, unless there's an update. KR7A-133R.

interestingly my processor was an AXIA...
you owuld think it would overclock well wouldnt you? nup. not that sucker. its stable limit was 1400 to 1450mhz for a 1200mhz chip.
