Well latest update... I haven't got anything more out per say after the initial burn in... for each steps it did work wonderfully by increasing additional few mhz which I thought would add up (started from 1.2v or so) but now that I am @ 2.65ghz... I only reduced another 0.01v to be stable for spending last 2 days or 3 days of constant burning in... now to 1.45v... This could just be the TIM settling down to be honest though.Quote:

Maybe there will be more marginal gain over time as I keep using it (which I could since it IS dual core so I can switch back and forth cores as needed) but I do think I did max out what I can get out of this for now. Oh... now that I have another .1v to go through before feeling unsafe about temp or voltage on this chip for 24x7 usage... I hope to achieve another nice 100mhz... Gonna take another few days... lol going for that dual prime 2.75ghz setup on air :)
