Voltages and Cooling.. (Xp2100+)

[Suma]

Hey,
Finally I heard from the store that I'm getting the XP2100+ from, it will be here by tommorow (Yey!). now I really want to get seriously into OC'ing..

Now, they have no SK-7 in stock so what I might take is a V9 (they have that or the V7+, but I can't bare its noise)

Volatges, hmm.. as I understood in order to OC to high FSBs you need to increse the voltage of the CPU and/or the memory.
reffer to my cooling (V9 with SmartFanII) how high can I set the Vcore to? I really don't wat to risk the CPU and to decrease its life hard, I'm planing on it for atleast 2 years. Btw, I will be using an EPoX 8RDA+.

PS. what's VDD mod?

Thanks!!
Suma (Tom )

There's a thread somewhere on the front pages of this AMD forum about this exact thing, involving temps and voltages. anything above 1.85v would be degrading the life of the chip. Keep it under 50ºC and you'll be peachy

Hmm... thanks,
but I really need some1 to get more specific

Can anybody help me?

if you want 2 years life on a chip with aircooling id say 1.8-1.85v and 50c should be the max of either.

imo 1.85v will still have a good long life.some say im wrong but im not them.long as it stays below 50c at all times and at full load it will survive.

case temps and airflow will add to this so good design and placement is crucial.
also i advise a good copper hs.

Hmm..
dude, I'm using SLK600 + Delta 60mm with the Volcano 7+ speed controller on low (silent!!) and the temps are 29-31C
(No OC done, with a close case)
