i bought a tbred A 2000+ cpu over the weekend. im wondering if it would be worth it to mod the voltage brigdes so that i could run the cpu at 1.85 vcore and possibly get 2ghz out of it.
this is my first attempt at overclocking a tbred a and im wondering if my goal is realistic. right now with a max vcore of 1.7
im able to run stabily at a max speed of 1879 with no signs of instability when folding or running prime95. the cpu will boot at 1950 and higher but slowly starts erroring in windows.
would the additional vcore in going from 1.70 to 1.85 make it likely id hit 2ghz?
btw temps @1879 while folding never got above 51 celcius (ambient temp of 40 degrees didnt help temps at all lol) with a normal ambient temp of around 33 degrees it runs around 43 degrees while under full load.
