An option is missing from the Poll.....Forever :)
I've had two wolfdales degrade .05v+ and one die completely. Not from VTT at all though. :)
Progress Report:
All systems running fine.
I'm getting inpatient here :p: Maybe it's time to raise... the voltages :p:
my gut says 1 month @ 1.7
I have been running 1.50 vtt and 1.408 v-core on my E8400 since april with ultra 120 extreme aircooler with 2*120 mm 28 db fans. I have not experienced any degradation at all yet. Cpu is running at 4027 mhz with 537 mhz on the bus (537*7,5)
trus me............connect the CPU to a battery car and you can kill the CPU in the act :D
Or better then......you can give me the CPU and i will seen you a celeron D 420 in return =P
jajajaja
Cuestion: If the CPU donīt die in 2 weeks for example.......what you going to do? You will test the CPU until he die?
That is the point.
I'm testing various voltages to see and "guess" ( you need a sample of at least 100 CPUs, preferably 4 batches of 25 CPUs of the same stepping each ) which voltages are safe to be considered safe, others that can be considered safe for benching, and the "deadly" ones aka stay away.
If I wanted to kill the CPUs just like that, I'd just use a 12V supply from a molex...
BenchZowner 1 question what you gonna do if it never dies:rofl:
donate it to ShArKo:rofl:
go Bill go

so much for the theory that you will kill a CPU overnight if you stress it at 1.5VTT hehehe......orrrrrrrrrrrrr are these two mirracle CPUs :rofl::D
wow i thought 1.6 was death time!
I feel much safer using VTT now lol
Those bastards are still running fine :D
I'm going to set up another system as well, with a E8500.
This time, I'll use watercooling for the CPU, and give it a kick-start at 4.5GHz @ 1.7V with 1.8Vtt and 2.8Vpll.
1.7 vcore
1.8vtt
2.8pll
O_o!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good idea Dinos.
Actually I'm going to make these 7 systems in total in 1-2 days.
Your recommendation/idea is good, so I'm going to dedicate 3 systems to that ;)
I voted for a day (today) w/o looking at the post dates. :rofl: Talk about an inauspicious way to introduce yourself to a forum. :hitself: Well... maybe the Mods were like, "look how this nut just voted." :rofl:

Haha, good one Great Ozzie.
You just made me laugh ( and that's crazy, since I'm crazy mad at the moment ).
Nice vote :p:
You failed at failing man :D
That won't work at all, because of the built-in overheating protection.
You can't kill a modern CPU that way no matter what you try.
Enter the BIOS, set the highest possible values for Vcore/Vfsb/Vpll, save & exit.
Remove the heatsink and leave the CPU alone and power up the system.
In most cases it will just try to power on and will auto-shutdown in less than a second.
In other cases it may "post" for a sec or two and then shutdown.
No harm done, in any way.
Once again, I repeat, I'm trying to see the effects of various high voltages combined or not in real-life conditions.
whats the problem of using cpus at 1.6v?
i used to use an e6600 at 1.7v daily, and currently i gave my qx6800 at 1.6 daily...
No problems at all, never burnd any cpu for more than 1 year..
