I tried searching the forums but couldn't find this info. If you read my other post you will see what I've been able to do with my system "my new system overclock". I've got the voltage at 1.6. Is this safe? Can I go much farther?

Thanks

1.65V is still safe... but don't go to 1.7V or higher. It wont help and you run the risk of NSDS (Northwood Sudden Death Syndrom).

I love my Delta 60HP 7000 RPM fan that puts out more dB then CFM :eek:

Wait a damn minute 1.7 is not okay...? I've been running my 2.4C at 1.7 for a while now... should I not be...?

if its running good then i would not worry...it may reduce the life of your cpu...but hey they last a while...i would not worry if it is stable and running good temps..

If i put my k6 in a Ferrari it would be faster than your your pentium 4 or Athlon XP :tongue:
