i think 1.5 is safe
but pll keep it as low as possible
i degraded a 6850 with 1.7v pll
for nb 1.4 is fine just keep it cool

back to tweaking this again, how does everyone feel for LLC? I still have it disabled
should I turn it back on? is it safer off?
For a 65nm processor it is safe unlike 45nm.
The advantage of using load-line calibration is that you get a lower idle voltage and thus lower temperatures and lower power consumption when the system is in an idle state since you can set a lower vCore in the BIOS. This is because no vDroop will occur I.e. the vCore will not drop under load or in my case it actually raises under load.
The disadvantage is that it does stress the motherboard PWM's and thus cause them to produce more heat.
I have it on for my Q6600 if that helps
I have my NB maxed,pll maxed and run the vcore at 1.55 for 3.9ghz on my go 6600
just stopping at 3.5, 1.5625vcore, 1.63v PLL, 1.38v term because the mosfets on the top of the board break 60C+ under small FFT load
thanks for the help everyone!
I must be lucky, since i ranwith 1,55 on my Q6600 8x450 3,6GHz on my P35C-DSR3 without any mosfet cooling or heatsink. And i used watercooling on the cpu, so it also didn't recieve airflow from cpu cooler.
Bord is still working fine today :)
I think 1,6 24/7 is possible too, if you plan on upgrading, because than the degradation is nothing you need to worry about anymore.
Just an update with a little DICE
Attachment 112336
was still running too hot to get any higher though, -30C
Tube doesn't have enough mass
i could have gotten a CPUz sub for 4.1+ but I didn't have internet and the cpuz file never works for me
My Q6600 G0 has been sitting on 3.6 Ghz with 1.55v in BIOS (About 1.5v loaded) for the past 2 or so years, part of that being loaded 100% 24/7 crunching, and it's still going fine. Admittedly it's been under water the whole time and hits about +10-15c above ambient loaded.

i've got a Maximus Extreme so X38 ?
i cant get mine passed 3.4Ghz
i guess Patriot Viper Extreme DDR3-1333 aint helping cause it could be crappy ram right ?
Also CPU and Northbridge under water
