Just as the title says. Temps aside what is the max voltage I can run at for my 1055t?

Currently I am at 1.55v under load @ 3.9 ghz. I was running at 4ghz but wasn't stable and really want to get it to 4.2 if I can. I am running at 40c max load so temps arent an issue, and if they become one I will get better cooling. Running an h80i right now.

I have read a lot of forums and some people say 1.55, some people say up to 1.65 as long as temps are in check. I am really looking for a final answer here.

Max safe vcore is under 1.5V according to most folks (and AMD). The turbo voltage only goes to 1.475v, and that is only for a few cores and for a short while. Keep in mind that high voltage and high temps will shorten the life of the CPU. And it ain't no spring chicken as it is.

I have my Phenom II X4 965BE at 1.475v and hesitate going any higher. But mine was new in box until less than a year ago.
