Page 19. Amd says 1.50v on air but I'd say 1.55v max.
Note: "Extreme" is when you cool with liquid nitrogen. Not watercooling.

it really depends on the overclock. if you were going to do 4.0 ghz then a vcore of 1.225 would be good. if you did a 4.8 ghz OC then 1.4-1.5 would be optimal.

do a little research on other people who might have oc'd the same cpu as yours to get a starting point and go from there.

1.69 is literally the max. once you hit 1.7 the chips done.
