    This from 3 posts down, post 13, same link as above
    Can you please do more testing before you make a post like this? I am very skeptical of your "empirical" findings and I'm sure many others are too. I have been running max Vtt on my board (1.55v) since I bought my processor last summer and I have had zero problems. I think saying things like this creates a false scare within the overclocking community. Many others have been running high Vtts without issue. Not once have I heard this from anyone. Please update your "empirical" findings with some more hard evidence
    That's what BenchZowner's doin' for all of our benefit.

    Let the tests continue... and nay sayers be silenced...for now

    but further down in a post we see this
    And section 2.6.1 states...
    "At conditions exceeding absolute maximum and minimum ratings, neither functionality nor long-term reliability can be expected. Moreover, if a device is subjected to these conditions for any length of time then, when returned to conditions within the functional operating condition limits, it will either not function, or its reliability will be severely degraded."
    So how would test pc 2 with 1.6Vcore, 2.0V Vtt and 2.8V PLL like a reboot into default auto bios settings?
    or returned to conditions within the functional operating condition limits
    Will it function? Will it's reliability be severely degraded?
    Place your bets
