Life expectancy @1.95v?

[Bigwave]

Hey guys!Does anyone know how long a coppermine can be expected to last running @1.95v?I ask this because I currently need to run my 1ghz P3 at 1.95v to keep it stable @1200mhz and don't want it to burn out on me too quickly!I've turned it back down to 1125@1.85v to be safe,my temps@1.95v never exceed 43c running prime 95 for hours.

So,what do you guys think?Has anyone had a coppermine @more than 1.9v for a long time?I'm really wondering if the life of my overpriced chip[I love the speed btw]will make it through the long haul so to speak.

i dont believe that how high the voltage is matters much, rather the temp of the CPU i think, is the deciding factor. at your temp its just a tad on the warm side i think you can expect a long and productive little processor. im running @53C but this comp only has to last 3 years so im not concerned. those are pretty good temps youve got there.

True- if it stays cool, it shouldn't be a major factor. I have a machine that's been running 24/7 @ 1.95v for 7 or 8 months.

1.95v for 7\8 months,I'm glad to hear that,nice to know how long of a life can be expected!

WOW OpenFriday 53c?I hope you get 3 years out of it!
Isn't that a little on the hot side?


Anybody else have any experiences with voltage to share?

I have a Celeron II 700 that does 1015 @ 2.2v. Stable in windows but no games. Does 1005 @ 2.1v (don't have an option to choose 2.5, 3.5 only 2.2.v 2.3v. I am using a slotkey (MSI 6905 MASTER) to get those voltages on my ABIT BF6). With my current setup @ 2.2v i never reach more than 37C FULL LOAD @ 1015 2.2v. I use standard air cooling. I also agree, i don't think voltage matters, as i like to push my chips to THE MAX!!! I usually run the voltage @ 2.3v to burn in. I have had this chip for almost 1 year id say, and runs great, no problems.

Looking to buy p3 133fsb processors, maybe 800eb? For my ABIT BF6 (200fsb YEA YEA).
I have a raid card coming friday (with my brother from college!)

I gave him my P3V4X for the ABIT BF6. He has a Celeron II 600 (i gave to him for 130bucks about 1year ago LoL) I can't wait to see what his chip does!

Carmine.......*sigh* why do you put yourself thru such hell.

That P/// "EB" chip will be tons harder to overclock than that 700 Celeron....It really will.

That C II 600 you sold to your brother was the best thing goin'. You shoulda hung on to it. Those 133 FSB "EB" chips that you want to try to crank up to 170 FSB are so RARE, and require VERY SPECIALIZED COOLING, air cooled, even with an Alpha P3125 or PEP66T won't cut it at that speed. 200 FSB yea, yea?? What do you plan on using for RAM at that speed, BTW.....intel doesn't build ANYTHING that will remotely come close to that speed, with the exception of the engineering samples of the Northbridge P4's, due for release in mid-2002.

Get a P/// 700E (NOT EB) and stop killing yourself.

2.3v thru a coppermine makes for a short life expectancy. 2.1 is too much. 1.95v is a realistic setting, and will live for a long time, with proper cooling.

Your 3d games WILL run if you would back off on the FSB. That 10.5 multiplier is what is killing you. the core on that Celley is maxed out before you even start. Thats just the way intel built them. The celeron 800E is just a rebadged 533a, so thats really not an option, either. If intel continues the Celeron line, we will see rebadged 566's and then 600's, but they will be called 850E and 900E. Same chip, different name.

You've got an Abit mb now....back off on the FSB, one by one, until you are stable. You are pushing that chip well beyond it's maximum, and thats why you can't run games at that speed.

My Celeron 600 is "stable" in Windows at 1066 at 2.05v.....locks up as soon as I do anything that starts to make it breath hard. Doesn't mean I'm gonna crank up the vcore, I'd rather back off to 1020 at 1.95, and have this chip in my rig for a few years.

AND have it play games stably at that speed.

And it does.........

Oh no - we're back on this mad subject again - AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
