    Hello,

    Here is my config:

    CPU Athlon XP Palomino 2000+ 3 years old
    MB KT6V-LSR recently purchased
    RAM PC2700 DDR333
    Not O/C: FSP 133, DRAM 266 (sync with FSB), CPU 1666.

    To ensure stability with Prime95 for 10 hours and more, I had to increase my vcore from 1.75 to 1.775, and this, without O/C. Normal ? Due to CPU ageing?

    Thanks for your help,

    Nicolas

    It could also be that the motherboard slighly undervolts and isn't providing the necessary voltage at the default values. If you haven't been OC'ing it, then that's really the only thing I can think of that would explain the problem. It *may* be addressed with a BIOS update, but I'm inclined to say probably not.
