I can go to 395x9 on 1.55 vcore but I don't have the guts to up my vcore any higher since I read somewhere that Intel specified 1.55 as maximum allowed vcore or something like that. If I want my CPU to last for at least a year, can I up the vcore any higher?
Intels max. specified is 1.35V :P.
Go for 1.65V.
For a short while, it shouldnt be a problem, if your temps are fine.
mine is at 1.490 just fine, temps are pretty sweet, under 50/40*C on load (core temp and gigabyte probe respectively)
Ummm watercooled and worried?? Man pump 1.65V should be OK but just to be sure comeback down lil after finding MAX :)
According to this specification Sheet from Intel, these are the minimum and maximum for reliable operation without degredation. Found on pages 19-20
Minimum: 0.8500V
Maximum: 1.3625V
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.14V - 1.26V
The absolute values fall outside the range of normal operation and will result in damage/degredation of the processor over time.
Absolute Minimum: -0.3V
Absolute Maximum: 1.55V
FSB Termination Voltage: -0.3V to 1.55V
Okay I'll try 1.65v then :D
400x9 here I come!
What are your temps like? Go for 1.675....LOL Did I just say that????
1.65V = 32.7C @ 399x9 after 1 hour of SP2004 Orthos Edition.
Maybe I could up it all the way to 1.7V? :)
EDIT: Oh I forgot to tell you that 32.7C is not the core temperature but what the WC kit is reporting.
1.7v already..its fine :)
1.7v ? thats insane for a WC 65 nm chip
Remember kids
If it dont smoke, it aint broke. ;)
I'm running 1.65v 24/7, more when I get water. No one has killed a conroe yet so I'm not worrying. If it dies oh well.
yea I wouldnt recommend it 24/7 but its definitely doable with waterQuote:

you guys you ran to your nearest online store and got conroes right when they were released got screwed id be selling them and getting the latest week chips. they dont need so much volts.
and 1.6-1.7v even on water is just insanely hot and you best watch your arse.. i guarentee unless you have a very air conditioned room that is VERY cool even with water your gunna be riding 65+c too hot even for water.
ya know some of us actually work and pay for their own hardware.Quote:

For some people. Others go through hardware like water.Quote:

I run 1.65v on air 24-7, so I would run it on water too :)
Buy a retail box if you actually believe that voltage will hurt your cpu, and then you can say "oh well" like us :)
I cant keep a cpu for a week, let alone three years! LOL!
Wow my friend, again you add worthless :banana::banana::banana::banana: to a thread with a question. I know for a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing fact that AFI pays for his goddamn hardware. I work to get everything I own, but I'm starting to lose trust in purchasing :banana::banana::banana::banana: as it seems I've been a beta tester for the last 3 builds. So please shut your damn mouth and stay out of threads with your :banana::banana::banana::banana:. I know alot of people you've pissed off with your bull:banana::banana::banana::banana: ramblings.Quote:

You never learn do you dipshyt..... :mad: I don't remember, was it eMachines, Gateway, or TigerDirect you came from... No matter, please go back...Quote:

If your afraid to run 1.65v on water, you don't belong here. ;)
If you don’t trust the advice, don’t take it... Pretty simple huhhhh?Quote:

I dont mind seeing others throwing the volts out right now though, we do still need to find out the point of no return.

Someone with more than one C2D could find volts that kill CPU instantly; If you have retail, then you don't have to worry about volts - you can always RMA it - so if you got very bad overclocker, maybe even worth going for it :P
Retail/OEM makes no difference.... If you RMA because you smoked it on an OC, you're a sleezebag anyway.... :(Quote:

They won't be able to tell if I toasted the CPU by overvolting right?
Nope, but your concience will haunt you till you get the RMA replacement hehehe.
Yep its dishonest as all hell . and possiable cause prices to remain higher because of your dishonesty. We all pay. I can't believe the number of people who break their GPU'S threw O/C than RMA them . I think there should be a way for hardware makers to check if their products have been O/C or O/V .
To be clear - i never did anything like that, I just say it's possible. I just hate any RMA:/ Last time my Asus mobo failed in the summer for no reason, everything was set to stock, and I had to wait 2 weeks for repair. But some sellers are not honest too - I had some cases where someone tried to return broken hardware, but they said unless it's totally broken it's ok. Hard to return partly-broken hardware where I live. When my old FX 5200 was somehow damaged and it was causing artifacts - reseller said - what you expect of such cheap card - it's ok like that. But I insisted on returning it, ended with paying for other card cause I waited 1 month for RMA...
I've overclocked the crap out of plenty of stuff and RMA'd it. Who cares!? Large heartless corporations deserved to get reamed just as much as they have reamed consumers in the past.
I probably won't do the same with my conroe, although the idea that someone would burn one up and send it in for a new one is not as bad as you people think.
