I've overclocked my good old 0.25um athlon 500 quite a bit, up to 800MHz. Ofcourse I need to go higher, but I run into troubles. I'm doing 800MHz 1/2cache at 1.8V now, and can do 850MHz 2/5cache only at 1.9V stable. Watercooling keeps the system VERY cool, I use a home engineerd alu-block (my father is an engineer and made it for me) with an old heater core, alu ofcourse. CPU runs about 12°C above ambient at 1.8V, but I can't confirm until my probe is ready.
I don't know what the effects are of 1.9V+ on my CPU, nor on short term or long term. Is there someone who also has a slot-A CPU running at high voltage or who know's about it? I don't want a CPU that wear's out within a couple of days, you see. Mobo (K7V) goes up to 2.3V I believe, so no problem with that one. Every piece of advice is welcome, is there anyone with a some kind of setup? Tell me about it. Currently I'm still running at 800 but I want to go HIGHER!!! :D
Any of the socket-A guys have any ideas/experience too?
Ofcourse I've checked the CPU database, but there aren't very much people going this high, and they have no info about high voltage.
