Overclocking Survey - P4 Northwood overvolting

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking (More info?)

Just out of curiosity, how many of you are risking Sudden Northwood Death
Syndrome by running your CPUs over the recommended absolute limit of 1.7
volts ? How high is your VCore ? How long have you been running it over the
limit ?

It would also be interesting to find out if you have killed your processor
by doing this.

Stu.

You can run Prime95 on this without errors? Doom3 runs OK? How about Hoyle
Puzzle Games? (it actually pushes the CPU!)

this pushes CPU almost to the death:

Again... Is it stable? Can you run Prime95 without errors, etc?

I can get my 2.6 to 3.2Ghz with stock voltages and cooling, but it doesn't
play well with Prime. Currently 3.18Ghz stock and Prime95 doesn't complain.
