AMD Athlon 64 x2 5200+ Brisbane Voltage Reqs?

[KurtOn]

Hey guys.I over clocked this procesor from 2.70Ghz to 3.0Ghz with Vcore of 1.4250v
Before i was at 3.12Ghz with 1.4500v..
Now, if u guys could help me is this voltage of 1.4250 good for this clock? My temperatures are rly good(i use am cooler) and PC seems to be stable..
Dont worry about my MoBo, she's good
I just need ur opinion should i go higher or lower!

Thanks

You want to use the lowest voltage you are stable at for 24hrs in Prime95. Minimum about 7hrs in Prime. If you are stable, drop the voltage until you are not stable and then bump back up a notch until you are again. Using more voltage than is really necessary will shorten the life of the hardware even if it's stable. If you can undervolt and still maintain stability, that's even better, but verify that you ARE actually stable in Prime and maybe even try IBT or OCCT to double verify.

So u're saying that i need to run my PC 24hrs in prime95 in order to see is it stable or not?
ANd how do i see is it stable or not? Any visual issues or perfomance degrades?

If it's not stable, it will error out and stop running. Small FFT's 24 hrs, not large FFT's or blend mode.
