P3 800@992 1.7v, should i try 1066 2v?

Hi!

Could someone give me some information on this. My cBo p3 800/100 is running at 992(124bus on p3v4x) and 1.7v.
If i use 1.95v and 1066 MHz i get into win2k and can run cpuburn.
I'm wondering how safe it would be to use 2.0v and run the processor at 1066? Not sure if I should do it...
Don't know how accurate the temp reading are, on max load (burnbx) I get to about 66 according to pcprobe. Motherboard temp allways 25-26.

Anyone using 2.0v?

Thanks!

Using a p3v4x, asus slotket -dl, 3*128mb, alpha pep66 with arctic silver, tower case, 1*80mm blowing in and 2*80mm sucking air out of the case and 2*40mm HD cooler blowing in.

If it is stable @ 1.9v @ 1066, then I wouldn't mess with it. I have seen somebody running a cBo PIII @ 2.1, so I guess it can be done, but you better have a good cooling system, and Good thermal transfer compound.
I am currently running my PIII cBo @ 1.9v.
Sounds like you got a good one there

Thanks for the reply!

I think it would be stable with a minimum of 1.95v @1066. So I would probably need to run it with 2.0v to be safe... And for cooling I only have the pep66 and the fans in my case...

Aren't those using more than 2.0v using a peltier or watercooling?

Would really like to push it further, but still unsure...
Been running SETI for a week now on end, maybe I have burned in the processor now so it will work better( I'll believe when I see it :) )...

Are you getting temperatures around 66C. If you are, your temps seems pretty high. Thats around 150F. My 700@1050 with PEP66 never goes above 110F under full load. Make sure that you're using thermal compound and have the heatskink mounted level on the CPU.

second that. 66C is too high for a coppermine cpu. and personally, i think 2V is pushing it for an intel cpu. it might shorten your chip's life considerably.

66C is definately high and with you MB temps @ 25C there is to much spread. I am using PEP66 with artic silver on my P3 700@980 1.74v and am getting 22C MB and 32C idle 44C heavy load on my P3V4X. You may want to try using MBM instead of asus probe. The maximum vcc on a P3 is 2.1v I believe but I would not suggest that you try above 1.95v expecially with your temps.
