I Can Only O/c My 2500+ To 2.16ghz

Now watch your temps. Raising Vcore has a big effect on temps.

You also might want to run the Folding@Home project. If you get lots of Work Units ending early then your system still isn't stable and you will probably have to increase Vcore a little more.

I had to increase mine to 1.775V before it was completely stable and the temps were too high with stock cooling at that voltage, but that varies from processor to processor.

Hi Lynx
I've downloaded it, How can I tell from it whether my system is stable or not.
It's folding as we speak.

if it's folding your system is fine. what are yoru temps?

After running it for about 10 mins

CPU - 49*c
Case - 27*c

I'll keep it on for a while seeing as it's for a good cause.

BTW it's still at 0 percent how long does it take it to move?

is the CPU temp idol or not?

[Cyonic]

it's now 50*c folding and 44*c idle.

Temps are ok, Folding will take a long time depending on which project its working on.

Good job.

I would have recommended uping the vcore or loosing memory timings, but you already fixed it! I hope you like your fast CPU!

Check your stability by looking at the log file (right click on the sysray icon and select status/log file). If you see lots of work units saying "Early Completion" then your system is still unstable (it warns you about that).

I found that increasing Vcore solved that problem, but of course the temps went up too.

But in general the Folding project is a long term thing. It only costs you a very small amount per day to run it all the the time, and it doesn't affect your performance, and you get a stability checker for free.
