prescott celeron - max safe voltage on boxed air cooling?

[coZmic]

hi!

i'm at 200FSB now, 3600@1.50V with the boxed cooler.
Prime full load puts 55°C on that.

Can't get 3700 stable, will 1.60V kill this CPU ?

I didn't have problems with kicking the voltage of my Pentium 3 1Ghz from 1.65 to 1.9. It had boxed cooling as well. I know the Prescotts are different and heat up a lot more, but 0.1 volt shouldn't do that much, I think. You have a good airflow?

hmm... a prescott celeron is 90nm, coppermines p3 were 180nm.

and i ask for +0.2volts not 0.1.

good airflow... i dont know, i have some :P . the fan of the boxed spins max 26xx rpm.

Worst example i could have found. Do you now that P3 and P4 are totally different cpu's so your advice doesnt't help at all:mad: Back to the original question, i think 1.6v maybe too much is your using boxed cooler, altought celerons runs cooler than Pentiums but that is the new Prescott based Celeron so heat could be a problem at those voltages ;)
