hello, im quite new to overclocking, and i am still learning my question is...
i have a AMD XP-mobile 2600+ running at 2600MHz (200FBS x 13) running at 1.9Volts, now is this save, when my systems idleing mbm reports that my cpu is running at 40c, when i am priming this rases to 50-52c.
is this safe or is it worth me droping my voltage down to 1.75 and have my multi at 12? or should i carry on with 1.9Volts and hope my cpu dont melt on me?

people have given the full 2.2v treatment to these chips (a full 0.8v increase!) and they've survived under prommies and 2.1v under water
). The higher your vcore, the more force the electrons have and the lower your probable lifespan for the CPU. This isn't limited to overclocked CPUs, however; it just tends to happen more quickly on them. That said, I wouldn't go higher than 1.9v.
at 1.9v with watercooling. TBH i've found the ammount of voltage is really irrelevent, its the temperature you need to keep your eyes on. I've always tried to keep bellow 50C at full load.
