The primary system in my sig, the 8K3A+, Tbred 2100 is in the process of being overclocked right now. I currently have it at 148x13. Now, to get it to this point, I had to set the Vcore to 1.9 and the Vdimm to 2.8. My cooling is an MCX-462 w/ 68.5cfm Delta and the Lian Li case has two intake and two exhaust fans. At the moment, I don't know what my temps are at full load however, Sandra reports idle temps at 57c/35c (CPU/system). Now, because it's reading off the internal diode, isn't this temp really much higher than if it were read off the thermosister inside the socket? Anyway, I guess what I'm getting at is, is it reasonably safe to run the CPU at 1.9 Vcore? I leave my computer on 24/7 so please take that into consideration as well. All replies are much appreciated.

i have the internal diod as well my temps are 10 c higher than what the ywould be on socket prob wich is normal.

I leave myn on 1.90 vcore but i water cool temps are 43c idle and 48 load i would try to lower the load temp on ur system a tiny bit 1.90 vcore might shortin the life on those temps. altho i doubt it would hurt if its stable then its fine.

U dont havea tbred the tbred is only in 2200+ flavers

Xp is 1500,1600,1700,1800,1900,2000,2100, u have a xp. I could be wrong but im sure u have the xp not tbred does youre cpu look like a duron with all the sqaure thingys on top or is it all under neeth

Here does youre cpu look like this ?http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/02q2/020610/index.html

or like this http://www6.tomshardware.com/howto/01q4/011112/athlonxp2000oc-05.html

I have the 2000+ and get 1.95 ghz and a 2 gig post.


ur overclock is nice you might be able to get 2 gig if you cool it more have u tried opnin ur case side and see if the temps drop ?
 
Trust me...it's a Tbred. The L1s are connected, it's physically different from the other dozen XPs I've used and shows up in Sandra as a Tbred. Closing the last L3 unlocks the multipliers, however it does it strangely (any multiplier I set is POSTed at 2 less).
