okay... here's the scoop. My friend just built a new system with a barton 2500+. He was messing with his bios setting with no clue about what he was doing... even when i try to tell him that he is gonna *%#^ up his processor he insisits that he is doing right by just raising the vcore. LMAO. He has idle temps in the 70c. im thinkin that his vcore is above 2.0.

time to place your bets on when his cpu will fail!!!!

It depends on which ones you run together i think.
Maybe he can clock his video card to 2Ghz with radclocker too.

poor *******. Tell him he needs to hand his processor over to you. Or me. Then give him a good rousing kick to the groin.

Raising the vcore will do nothing to speed up your computer. Using Vcore is used to help stabalize an unstable overclock. run WCPUID. it will tell you how fast you are running your chip.

This is specifically aimed at the guy doing it. Also just read the begginers guides from the front page there are a lot of good articles Good luck to you.
