More Information

I have successfully overclocked my E2160 to 3.34ghz with a vcore of 1.43. I was reading the new article on the penryn chip and read this, wondering if my voltage was too high for my E2160.

Still, running a 45 nm processor at this voltage is definitely not a long-term solution, since there is a risk that the CPU is gradually damaged as a result of electromigration. There is a possibility that the conducting paths inside the CPU could literally be ablated and thus destroyed. The result is that one day, the computer suddenly shuts down and will never start up again with that CPU

would I be doing this to my chip? And also, my 3.3v on my PSU is shown in Everest at 3.28 under load, is this arlight? Would 3.26 be alright? Thanks

No, your voltage is not too high. Just stay at 1.5v or below.

Now, your CPU will not instantly melt at 1.51v, but if you are looking for a nice safe long term voltage, anything at or under Intel's specifications should be fine.

nice job!

make sure the temp is 40-60c if its higher then 65c you need a better cpu cooler or more fans - like door fan

Should be fine at that voltage. What motherboard are you using?

Your question about voltage: you should be at 3.3v plus or minus 5% so 3.26 and 3.28 are just fine.

Worst case for 3.3 should be 3.135v (low side) to 3.465v (high side) :)

So if you go below Intel's recommended voltage for cpu, which is .85, it'll shorten the life too? :/ I mean what's wrong with running at .5v? .1v?

if you can get the cpu to run at .5 vcore, it will last a very, very long time.

Hmm not very likely to get it running on .5 Vcore :lol:

Im looking to build a E2160 machine and OC like you have ... do you mind posting your build? mobo, mem, cooling, and gpu? Also what temps are you getting on idle and full load? also what is your FSB and MultiX set to? any and all information would be extremly useful and helpfull.
