2100 overlock no raised voltages

[jamo]

I overclocked my 2100+b to (166*12.5) 2600+ without raising any voltages. Is this normal? I haven't tried 166*13, but wouldn't be surprized if i could get up there too w/o raising voltages. If this is something normal, thats pretty great. Thats like getting a 2600+ at 333 for the price of a 2100 266 without the effects of overclocking. Thanks for the help.

yeah, thats pretty normal

My AIUHB 0249 is completely stable (Prime95 for 48 hours) at 13x162 at stock voltage (1.60). It will run games (UT2003, CS) for hours at 13x166 at stock voltage, but Prime95 fails anywhere from 2 to 8 hours. I have to nudge the vcore to 1.625 V to be Prime stable. I've played with several combinations of FSB & Multipliers and they all seem to be stable at stock voltages as long as I keep it under around 2100 MHz.

Anything north of 2100 MHz starts requiring a significant vcore increase to be stable - i.e., 13x170 takes 1.70 Volts and 13x173 takes 1.725. I'm still a little nervous about pushing it much further with the HSF and PS that I have.

Thats exactly what i have. The 0249. Except my voltage came default at 1.64 i believe. I might try then pushing it to 13*166 and see where that gets me.
