With 1.725, I could reach fsb 166 (3.0G)
Mainboard is ASUS P4P800 DELUXE.

I wonder what is maximum v-core for Northwood 1.8A.
Doesn't it matter upto 1.85 as long as I can hold the temp down around 40?

Also which is the best stability test tool? Folding or Prime or Super-PI?

Thanks

Can you post a verified version of this please?

I like SP2004, it is the best stab-testing software out there IMO.

What do you mean with 'verified version'? Stability test?

Verification is the method in which you prove your overclock (not stability, just overclock)

On your CPUID/CPU-Z About page you will see a button called "Validation". Press it and you will see that you can save a validation file. Then go to this webpage and upload that file.

You will be given a link that shows a valid outcome for your overclock.

Such as mine:

To stress test your cpu, download StressPrime2004 (SP2004)

http://sp2004.fre3.com/download.htm

Uncompress the cab file and run it for a certain set period of time. I use 24 hours but some use 8 hours or 6 hours. Your choice. Then you can take a print screen of this and upload it.

By the way, what is the maximum v-core for P4 Northwood 1.8A? To which point can I push up?
