What are some safe voltages for the memory and CPU?

[Maelstorm]

First off, my motherboard is an Albatron PX845PEV PRO. I've got a Pentium 4 2.4B, along with one stick of Corsair XMS PC 3200 CAS 2.0 DDR SDRAM. At the moment, I'm running at a 160 MHz FSB completely stable.

I was just curious what some maximum safe voltages for the VCore and VDIMM are. I have heard that 1.7 is safe for the Pentium 4 Northwoods, and anything above that is risky. However, I'm not sure what is safe for the VDIMM. My board supports a max of a 2.8 VDIMM. What is safe for VDIMM? Also, is a 1.7 VCore really safe for me?

crank the vdimm to 2.8

if your temps are okay crank it up some more

Okay, thanks for the info so far. About the VCore though.........last night, I tried to hit a 167 MHz FSB (3.06 GHz) with a 1.7 Vcore and it just wasn't stable. However, my temperatures, according to both my BIOS and Motherboard Monitor 5 (latest version) both reported 30 C when at full load, and anywhere from 24-26C at idle.

Would it be okay to take my VCore higher?

Sir, that is a roger sir. 30C at full load is a great temp man. If you want to run stable at 167fsb, then you will need to up the vcore...aim small, miss small. What I mean by that is the lower you can run that vcore and be stable..the better your temps will be.

You may also want to look at your vdimm and the timings.
