can i overclock my 3500 newcaslte further

[geeman74]

im running 2.65ghz @ 265 fsb x 10 multiplier 1.65v vcore
ram 1:1 divider @ 2.8v, timings 2.5-3-3-6, ht voltage 2.3, ht 4xfsb
temps around 35degs idle 45 underload (thats off a sensor on chip not mobo temps monitoring)

ive had it running at 2.7 with a higher multiplier but it was getting to hot and unstable
im watercooled so could i up my vcore to 1.8v or is that to far im also gonna put heatsinks on the mosfets soon

lower HTT and try higher bus.

temp sensor on the side of a cpu isn't accurate either, heatspreader means the tip of your sensor won't actually be very close to the core as there will be gap behind the side of heatspread and core. So temps might well be higher, might not, but temps don't matter that much, will not boot/crash from overheating well before it gets to dangerous temps(WELL WELL before), so go up a little at a time and you'll be fine. as much vcore as you have is pretty much completely safe, 1.8v is very safe, on air for a newcastle let alone water.

have you tried it at 2.7Ghz since you've been watercooled? if so and it wasn't stable, then no you probo can't go further stable. it might have been just too hot to be stable at that speed, try doing 2.7Ghz with less than 1.8v.

ive had it 2.75 ghz with 1.75vcore it was stable but hot
gonna reseat my waterblocks in a few days when me new resevoir gets here
think my old resevoirs causing me probs cos its getting hot to touch hotter than my rad

Mine will run 260 x 11 at 2.84v not overly stable but will run under sandra burn in for 8-10 hours no problems using my r507 mach2 i can screen at 273 x 11 so 3 gig using the ram devider

my ram will do 290 fsb @ 1:1 divider 2.8v
do you get any other problems running at 1.8 v vcore
