How much more of an overclock did you get with...

How much more of an overclock did you get with these two things: Voltmod. Makes it nice and toasty at around 2volts. And the second one would be burning in the chip for about 48-72 hours. With these two things, did you see a large increase in an overclock?

By increasing my vcore from 1.89 to 2.27v, I got from 1950mhz to 2037mhz.

I've had my chip for a few months, I guess it should be burnt in by now. lol.

At 1.95V my XP 1600+ will do 1.94 GHz, it needs 2.05V for 1999 MHz and 2.13V for 2009 MHz. Burning with Prime did help but I forget how much.

Currently at 1.98V I get to 1806 MHz.... up from 1730 at stock voltage of 1.75V, I got 1768 out of 1.89V. When I started using this chip at stock voltage, it would only go to 1627, after about 4 days I was able to get to 1730 at stock.... then I lost my 10x multiplier and had to go back to 10.5 where I am now.

Alright, thanks for the responses guys. I asked this, becuase I am thinking about volt modding my mobo, and want to know if it is really worth it.

All those voltage increases above like 1.85 or 1.89 seem to give horribly diminishing returns. Why even do it?

[ChillPhatCat]

because

What do you mean by this?

[ChillPhatCat]

It's pretty clear, look at our overclocks. We didn't get much more MHz after about 1.89V... I got 38 MHz... out of going from 1.89-1.98

So to help actually answer your question. Volt modding probably won't get you more than 100MHz

So you can hit the highest speed possible, especially if your watercooling you'd want to to take the Vcore much further than 1.85-1.9V.

I don't need to VMod on this board but at 1.85V I could only get to 1600MHz, at 2.1V I get what's in my sig, 2.2V gets me to 1800MHz but is not stable with current HSF. After my PSU fell on its head 0000MHz. Generic 300W gets me default clockspeed only:o

Burning in has never worked for me.

[Skiing Squirrel]

Yea, burning in never works for me either. I wonder why it works for some and not others?

[Sonny]

To be honest I don’t think I’ve done it the right way. That being cooling the CPU below 0°C at the lowest clockspeed & then running the highest voltage you can within reason of course. I never really bothered to research why it has to be that way 'cause its more of a pain to do than earning the cash to buy a faster chip.

[Skiing Squirrel]

Why always lower the speed of the chip and raise the voltage? I mean, the hotter it is the better right? Oh, I dont know about that earnning cash thing, I like free stuff, even if it takes awhile and alot of effort, cuz hey, I got plenty of time.
