Anita_92,

There are no simple answers to your question. There are no "cookie cutter" plug-in values.

No two processors are identical; each is unique in voltage tolerance, thermal behavior and overclocking potential, which is often referred to as the "silicon lottery".

• Overclocking is always limited by two factors; voltage and temperature.

As Core speed (MHz) is increased, Core voltage (Vcore) must also be increased to maintain stability. This increases Power consumption (Watts) which increases Core temperatures.

Overclocking should not be attempted with Vcore settings in “Auto” because BIOS will apply significantly more voltage than necessary to maintain stability, which increases Power and heat.

Here's the maximum recommended Core voltage per Microarchitecture from 14 to 65 nanometers since 2006:

Here's the nominal operating range for Core temperature:

Core temperatures above 85°C are not recommended.

Core temperatures below 80°C are ideal.

Core temperatures increase and decrease with ambient (room) temperature.

Do not exceed 1.4 volts.
Do not exceed 85°C.
