Rock soild at 1.45V and 3.209GHz.The everest stress test was a 8 hour test BTW. When I crank it to 3.3GHz,it runs solid but I need at least 1.55V and temps under load are getting pretty close to high 50 degrees celcius. My Ram timings are pretty tight too. Any suggestions??? Need to cool it down and is 1.55V too high?????

anything over 1.5V is too high. id stay at 3.2ghz. that is if your concered about the chip, anything over 1.5 reduces the life. but 50C is fine, worry about temps if you go over 70C then it will die fast.


i just read your other thread, ignore your Prime temps, they always go high, never in real life will your cpu be at 100% for more than 5 minutes.

personally i wouldnt mind burning out that chip to get a phenom 2 =P
