I've been looking around at a lot of CPU threads and the AMD overclocking threads, but I can't seem to find an upper limit for the vcore for brisbane cpus.
I have an X2 3600+ (brisbane) that runs 1.9 GHz stock. Since I recently bought an HD 4870, I've found the need to keep my cpu overclocked to get as much fps as I can in oblivion and crysis. I currently have it running at 2.8 GHz (9.5x multiplier, 312MHz FSB and 1.425V). I also have the memory divider set at CPU/5 and I am running 4 crucial ballistix 1 GB sticks (800 MHz stock) at 5-5-5-15 timings and 1124 MHz effective frequency.
I'm pretty sure I can get it to run around 3.1 GHz stable if I fool around with the multiplier and RAM setting and if I get the vcore up to about 1.5V, but I'm not sure if that's safe for my CPU. I don't plan on keeping this cpu for too much longer than 6 months, as I plan on upgrading to one of the deneb cores coming out this winter.
