Thread: Overclocking Athlon 3800+ processor

Hi.

I used to overclock my Athlon 3800 + X2, the stock is 2000mhz, but I'll take it to 2400mhz super tested with Ortho’s and prime as 9 hours, the problem is that it is a model EE (energy efficient) which The default voltage is 1.25, I can apply that to overclock I had to raise the voltage from 1.25 to 1.35, and memos leave running 800MHz (667MHz default) with a voltage of 1.9 (default 1.8).

1-be fine rising voltage or is much exaggerated.
2-me greatly shortens the life of this overclock my pc.

Dear ...

It is a very good start and not worry about voltages, since those who enter, are in a good range.... Continues to rise until the voltage FSBs not stand it and then accounts.

I find that the rise in voltage is more than good, as it was not an exaggerated rise ...
With regard to shorten life, is not so much because I had my pc Overclocked like 2 years and no nothing happened, obviously you need to have good ventilation to prevent overheating and avoid failures ....

Greetings

Drug testing and throughout the process that I go into full 25 ° and 15 ° idle, even in these days I start to understand only in 8th and will continue to rise through carefully.

Is a little funny question after overclock fact, if you will shorten the life of the process?

Got a good overclock with voltages of necessary changes, if you wanted to try to get more juice, but try to find an Overclocked pc similar to yours to guide you.
