Quote from anand, not sure how true this statement is though
980X (32nm) chip has a maximum voltage of 1.375V
975 (45nm S1366) has a maximum voltage of 1.375V
880 (45nm S1156) has a maximum voltage of 1.400V

This means at most the safest voltage on SB will be 1.400V, but most likely well below that. I would wager 1.350V. This is why all these 1.45-1.50V 5.2ghz overclocks are only for e-peen.

Think about it...1.45V is already way out of spec for a 45nm chip, nevermind 32nm
