Hey i have an Athlon 4000+ x2 running at 2.51 GHz (250 FSB 10x multiplier) on 1.2 volts stable. is this voltage ok or can get it lower to run cooler????

Heres my specs:
Mobo: Geforce6100SM-M
Ram: DDR2 800 2gig at 417.9MHz
Processor:Athlon 4000+ x2 (brisbane)

That is well within normal ranges. Voltage wouldnt be ur main problem, just temperatures. So just get some temperature monitoring programs (everest, speedfan etc etc) and check those out. Also to note, brisbane cores have faulty temperature sensors. You probably will need to add a 20C offset to the readings if not more. My processor will fail at the reading of 45C.

But to answer your overall question. The voltage is ok. And if your motherboard allows it, u could also push the chip farther as the stock voltage for ur processor is around 1.375-1.4V. Get it to around 2.7-2.8ghz if u can

Cheers and good luck,

Clarification:

most of the core temps on brisbanes are off, but the CPU temps are usually pretty close. You just need to use a program that will read that. Lots of people have had success with HW monitor and speedfan.

Also you should be FINE with your 4000 at that voltage. In fact, thats on the low side, most brisbanes come stock at 1.25-1.35v, and they're safe up to about 1.5v. I ran my 4600 at 3GHz and 1.4v for almost 10 months with a slightly modded stock cooler. You should be fine.

Good luck

I lapped the stock HS, and then made an adapter to make a larger fan fit on it. You can read about it if you would like. There is a link in my sig "lapped your stock HS?".

You can buy adapters and whatnot... but since I had the time and the materials, I decided to make mine. Although less fancy ways will work as well.

Good luck
