Am I Insane?

Totally nuts.

I'd never stick more than 1.6 through unless I was intent on killing my cpu.

Also, get Coretemp on that bugger, it might be a lot hotter than everest is telling you.

benjo · 10 Nov 2006 at 18:17

It may be running fine now but you're drastically reducing the CPU's life span.

Vita · 10 Nov 2006 at 18:18

44-45C with coretemp. Guess it's time to clock it down.

Raikiri · 10 Nov 2006 at 18:21

I never ran more than 1.6 through my 3200+, I suggest you don't go above 1.65 with water cooling.

james_earl · 10 Nov 2006 at 18:29

totally nuts yes

Vita · 10 Nov 2006 at 18:31

Well, I have it @ 2.52 running 1.7v's through it. Temps are 38 idle. Tbh, I want an excuse to get rid of this CPU, so I can buy a 4000+ Newark.

loltim · 10 Nov 2006 at 18:45

meh, if it breaks then buy a new one. You're only nuts if you can't afford to replace it.

Vita · 10 Nov 2006 at 18:47

I know

. On the topic of performance, would a Higher FSB give me more boost? Or nono?

ChoÞÞer · 10 Nov 2006 at 18:48

sell it??

Vita · 10 Nov 2006 at 20:09

Sell what? It's not worth selling I wouldn't get much for it.

It would, but a64s dont particularly need the bandwith, use whichever enables you to get the lowest latencies

Vita · 10 Nov 2006 at 21:23

I see, thanks.

joeyjojo · 10 Nov 2006 at 21:26

Fairly nuts, especially as you're probably seeing very limited returns (sorry, didn't read thoroughly). Only 2.5 with that sort of crazy voltage - doesn't seem worth it for a few hundred mhz. Brave though

Vita · 10 Nov 2006 at 21:39

2.6GHz with that voltage, sucks.

If I can buy a Mobile 754 Newark for around 70quid, and get it to 3.2GHz i'm buzzing

Kmodo · 11 Nov 2006 at 13:00

how long you going to be keeping it for? I always over volt my cpu's cos I never keep em that long anyway. had the 3700 939 with like 1.7-8v going through it running at 2.8Ghz for over a year (still working perfect in another pc now).

Hyper · 11 Nov 2006 at 13:19

That is nuts, I will only run my cpu at stock volts but still manage to get another 1ghz out of it

Vita · 11 Nov 2006 at 14:21

I've had this CPU for over 2 years, well 3 years in March '07. Running it @ this 24/7 now. Well daily use anyway.

got 1.7v's through it. Here

Nutbusta · 12 Nov 2006 at 09:01

Hang on. Thats nessasarily totally nuts.

Whats the stock voltage? Do you know what type of core it is? It could be an older .13micron chip like the Newcastle.

I would never put more than 1.6v through either of my Semprons but their stock voltage is 1.375v IIRC

However if the stock voltage is 1.5v and the temps are low then your only overvolting by about 12%@1.7v which should be fine.

If you could run CPUZ and post a screenie that would help Vita

Yes it is a .13micron chip, and yes it's a NewCastle.
1.5 are stock voltages.
Got 1.74v through it, but CPUz tends to jump them around lol.
