Hello all,
So I have been OC'ing my AMD Phenom II x4 965 3.4 Black Edition after I recently purchased and installed a Corsair h80i.
Currently I have my multiplier up to x21 and my cpu voltage at 1.5
My temps peak at 43 celsius when running under full load prime95
Now in my limited experience and research in OC'ing I read or was advised somewhere not to go above 1.7 volts, and even on some forums that max voltage for my specific chip was 1.5???
Now I know that for my specific chip 60celsius is max temp, so if I am peaking at 43 is there any other hazards to going to 1.7 or higher?
Also any general advice for my chip and overclocking in general would be swell, thanks!
