Hi there

im just curious

i have a northwood 2.4ghz @ 2.8 ghz

with a FSB of 157

How far can i throw my FSB up before i have to adjust the vcore

I have taken it up to 169 FSB and its stable at default vcore

Of course im using an ASUS P4GE-V, there newest board, but Im afraid to take her any higher

At what point will I have to find better cooling then stock

How fast is to fast ?

Thanks


P.S.

I know i touched on this subject before, but you guys told me

If I OC my CPU without upping the VCORE, the chances that the CPU lifespan will be reduced, is great deminished

is this true ?
