Barton XP2500+ Heat(Watts) limits ?

[Ancient1]

The Temp limit on this (Model 10) is 85C
I am nearing using freezer cooled watercooling . i.e will be able to push temp down.

I need to know if keeping the Temp <50C is all I have to know , or that pumping >1.9V to the CPU (or some higher value) is a big NO NO, as the die can't handle leaking , lets say 130Watts output, even if it is quicly dissipated.

from CPUheat I calculated my cpu function as: Watt=0.14*FSB-238

Thx

I don't think thats the way to do it.. you should just use the calculator on here:

take the 88% of the wattage as the heatload (88% is the most your cpu will ever produce, 100% is the theoretical).

Two issues here. Heat death from overheating it, and damage from overvolting. When you raise the voltage, you decrease life. Fortunately we tend to upgrade every few years so if the chip burns out after 4 years at a given voltage, you'd probably never notice.

Cooling better does offset the effects of high voltage to some extent.

I'm not sure about the voltage and lifespan, ive been running a 2500+ barton for several years at 2v without any issues.

it depends on the chip. Some are more sinsitive to voltage than others. Just like some like lots of volts other don't.

i have have my barton at 2v 1.5years
doing fine. i run 1FSB below max oc all the time.
i ran at 2.15v for awhile on tecs and chiller.
but me new mobo can only run 1.95v last one went to 2.2v
