How much risk is it if I run my XP2500+ @ 1.85Vcore because below that it does not run stable when OC'ed to XP3200+. I have tried upping it till 1.825 and Prime95 is still giving me errors.
Any suggestions please..

My system:
Athlon XP2500+
Asus A7N8X-E Board
Zalman 7000a alcu cooler
2x256 pc3500 Kingston HyperX Ram
ATI 9600xt 128mb vid
WD 80gb HD
Pioneer 116 dvd-rom, 106 dvd-rw
Enermax 350W PS
Enermax Case with 4 case fans (1in-3out)

I think Zebo has got his 2500+ doing 2600mhz on 1.5V using moderate air, but thats a mobile.

1.85 is higher than I'd feel comfortable with.
Sounds like your chip isn't much of an overclocker.

I you don't care about your cpu that try it, but if you want it to last a little while I would lower your voltage if I were you.

Weird part is, it runs stable @ XP3000 with Vcore 1.7 but does not run stable @ XP3200 even at 1.825. So, I asked for an advice here before raising the Vcore more because I don't wonna fry it either. Performance wise I don't think it will make that much diff but just wanted to try it.

Thanks

Personally, I wouldn't run that high unless I was using water cooling.

Processors reach the limit failry quickly. And by that I mean the voltage curve necessary to reach higher frequencies without significantly better cooling is a pretty steep curve.

I have been running my 1700+ at 1.85v for 2 years now. My power supply BLEW UP while it was on one day. I stuck in another power supply and the chip is still crankin. I think you'll be fine.

All cpu's seem to be slightly different between the same model. Components can be weaker or stronger. One cpu make overclock better than the other slightly. Sometimes things that work on one may not work on someone else and you would just have to take a risk if you want to go to extreme measures.

Better cooling won't allow you to run at an extreme voltage. Yes more voltage helps create more heat, but even when cool efficiently components can only take so much voltage for so much time.
