Good conservative voltage for xp-m?

I got a Athlon XP Mobile 2500+ the other day, and i'm (obviously) interested in overclocking it... I was able to bring it a little above 2ghz on stock voltage, and have been running it prime95 stable at 2.25ghz with 1.65v for the last few days...

I want to take full advantage of the chip, but I plan on having it for a long time, and I'm not interesting in frying it...

I figured I would take a fairly convervative voltage, and find how high it will be stable there, and be happy... so how high should I go?

this chip is great, by the way, I'm running 39c under prime at 2.25ghz, on a crappy arctic cooler heatsink with the fan set to the 'medium' setting - about 2200rpm

Go by the temperatures. Feed it voltage until Load temps become higher than low 50's
I don't think anything higher than the low 50's is a good place to be on air for load temps.
 
I found a sweet spot for me is 1.700 volts. Not too little, not too hot. Gets me 2400 stable.

Anything over that requires ridiculous amounts of volts as it curves up quite quickly. Like 2500 needs 1.85
