safe vcore for long term use

[pauloandre]

I recently built a new pc, with the E2140 and started by overclocking it to 2.4Ghz with stock vcore. Now I wanted more, and that usually means raising vcore, but I wanted to know what's the safe limit for long term use. I read somewhere (google is my friend) that intel provides that info in a page (for my cpu, that should be http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLA93), but there it says the safe margin is 1.5V and it seems a bit high... Is that the real safe limit?

Also, could someone confirm that the stock vcore for e2140 when the multiplier is at 8x is 1.27V?

Use CoreTemp and find the CPU VID. VID - Offset = Stock vCore.

Intel specs 1.5 vCore, don't know what else you want to know. It's a safe vCore according to them. I run my Q6600 at 1.4 vCore and I'd go up to 1.6 if I needed it.

Stock Voltage caries from chip to chip, that's why I said check the VID.
