What will be the best all around decision for XP2100.

Ok fellas here we go well about 2 months ago I had an asus a7v266 mobo, xp1700 pally, kingston pc2100, gainward geforce 3, and volcano 9 casemod hsf with a 330w psu. So I started to read and buy what was the best price and profromance stuff to upgrade with. To make a long story short the one thing I forgot to upgrade was the hd well after about 3 weeks of setting up my new rig which you can see in sig the d*** thing dies !!! I tried formating the SOB 20 different ways I think I really dont know I lost track after about a day of fuc**** with it. Anyway i have everything almost back to normal with my new wd hd in and was just woundering out of the following settings which one would you go with ?

X's---FSB-MHZ--Vcore-0%-100%-pcmark-pcmark-3dmark-sandra-sandra-sandra-sandra
---------------------------------cpu----mem------2001---dhry---whet----int---float
12---185==2220=1.8---35--40---6763---5300----12538--8412---3366---2862---2692
12---187==2244=| |---36--41---6840---5360----12453--8481---3371---2872---2697
12.5-184==2300=1.9---38--43---6905---5247----12625--8677---3486---2844---2663
12.5-186==2325=1.925-38--44---7049---5371----12562--8807---3526---2876---2692

Any temperature increase from 1.9 to 1.925Vcore? Also what are the temps for these?

? dont understand your ?

You havent stated your temperatures. I would not advise you to run at Vcore of 1.925 (which gives you the best results) without knowing this factor as well. Or do the 0 and 100 relate to temps at idle and load? (didnt see them before you edited out all the dhrystone and whetstone stuff!) If that is the case then its up to you to weigh up the risk of extra temps and vcore at 1.925 with the extra performance you get. At this stage it gets personal with questions like how long are you wanting to keep the chip for becoming relevant.

yea that the 0 % temp and 100% temp

Personally I would go with the 1.9Vcore - but you might be less cautious than me!

Sry it took me a min to get it to post right tks for your reply .

Does anyone have an answer to which set of #'s is better?

IMHO, the 1.9 (2300mhz) looks your best bet. nice set of scores and it'll last a little longer that way too.

Depends on how risky you feel. Obviously, running at 1.925 will give you the best results. However, it may shorten the life of your processor.

Well everything ran @ 186 x 12.5 = 2325 with vcore @ 1.9 for 10 hours with prime so i think iam going to keep it here and try to see what i can get out of my vcard the i put a tt gf4 gpu hsf on the other day.

Why do you guys need high voltage for, If you can get the speed you want with lower volte why go high, to me it make no different in speed, If you can get away with lower vcore why change it. I think most people go higher voltage because they want to get higher speed.

guess i'm lucky to be able to reach 2300Mhz using "only" 1.825v
I'd give it 1.9v if i could reach 2400Mhz, but i can't. so i'll stick with my current speed. I even run it at 12x186 now, because i can run my memory 4-2-2-2 then.

Well terry have you removed the jumper from between the nb and psu plugin and also what dimm slot are you using .
