How much vcore can E6850 handle

[walste]

How hard can i puch my E6850 on the vcore, i´m running water on it.
Could i go for 1.7v???

[Bail_w]

i suggest you not go over 1.60-1.65v on water

Hmm, that sucks. but i dont want to blow my chip so maby u are right.

[ginnz]

go for it..... let us know how far it CAN go, and how far it can't. take one for the team.... ;-)

Hehe, well i know myself and i KNOW that i will test 1.7v...plz dont make me do it tonight:-)

from what I understand, anything over ~1.5 will start the process of electron migration, causing leaky degrading transistors. you won't notice the effects if you are only doing this for short periods of time, but extended use at these voltages will result in noticeably shorter lifespan of your CPU. (months-1 year rather then many years)

That may be so, but in 6month- 1 year there will be som meny NEW good cpu out so i dont care=)

Go for it then dude. Just giving a semi-standard disclaimer on heat not being the thing that really kills chips :p:

I run mine @ 1.58V (real) on air. Temps are low and so far everything is stable for me :)

I had some 6600 B batch cpus that couldn't run more than 1.45V (on air) due to overheating and thermal throttling

1.58 on air, dont u think that 1.7 on water would work then...what aircooling do u have?

I say go for it, when is the last time u heard anyone fried a chip, if its too much voltage your system will restart then all u gotta do is turn off, and lower the voltage.

1.6 is as high as i went on air with my 120extreme

1.5? really? That seems really low to me. I would have thought that these 775 could at least handle 1.6 daily usage, with good temps of course.

bro if your water cooling system can handle the temps.. go for it mate :up:
and you can always open the window to help with the ambient room temperatures, like here in Finland i know it gets a bit chilly over there :D

All Of It!!!!!!:D Give it to him Lefty:sofa:

1.82v on water on mine. It wouldn't go past 4375 on stock v so though so it go for some burning in.

Still very very alive and uber lower temps.

2v shortly on my cascade

I mean, that is how I always understood it. If you got the cooling, put w/e voltage your cooling could handle.

Blauhung's post makes it seem no matter the cooling, 1.5vcore will greatly deteriorate your cpus life.

I guess the gray area here is what is a cpus life is and how fast will it die with 1.5vcore or more.

Heat doesn't kill cpus, Voltage does, so regardless of cooling methods the higher voltage is going to degrade the processor.

[learners permit]

I personally have seen socket damage from 1.7 volts to the cpu. One of the contacts that give power to the cpu got so hot it warped and twisted about 50 deg. from horizontal and resulted in a dead mobo.

[sofarfrome]

The manufacturing process that creates the silicon for the CPU is far greater than the temps we see when applying high vcore to them. Heat does not degrade the CPU, voltage does. Voltage also stresses the rest of the sytem as well leading to shorter life expectancy of a given component.

[emoners]

what's the highest vcore & fsb you guys got on this proc on air? good for a 24/7 run :confused: don't wanna set the vcore too high coz not all the time i have my air conditioning on.:(
