1.6v safe for e6600?

[Falkentyne]

Well, it's funny how I'm once again proven right.

I was horribly flamed by Wizilla (?) sorry forgot exact name and I don't visit forums as much as I used to, and a couple of other people, when saying that high voltages may be damaging to a C2D just like they were to northwoods, and those flamers said that "Intel had fixed that problem", when I _repeatedly_ posted concerns about that. Those above people kept telling the users to just get good cooling and pump the voltage. I guess people here dont care about ANYTHING when it's not their own money at stake. Now, months after being flamed, suddenly a lot more people are starting to believe and support what I have mentioned all along. The sad thing is, those posters have helped people with many other problems and have been an asset to these forums, but they treated me like I was a complete beginner when it comes to overclocking (I'm age 35; been overclocking since the 166MMX days). And now that some people have seen degradation in some C2D's, the flaming has all but stopped. I would go so far as to suggest an apology was in order, but whatever. And for the record, I've seen some degradation on my C2D. Its about .03v or so, but it has happened. (Core 0 is the affected core for first failures). Next time I post about "Conroe gradual death syndrome", please don't flame me. We don't need people's chips dying JUST because NOT EVERYONE suffers from the problem. That's how teenagers think: "if it doesn't happen to me, it wont happen to anyone". And it costs people *Money*. Not your money, of course...

Fanboys are dangerous.

In fact an Intel engineer once memorably told in an article: "Hell, run 'em as fast as you like. When it blows up we'll be happy to sell you a new one."

But they won't prevent the CPU failing -- you cannae change the laws of physics Jim, as a famous engineer once said.

Well, electromigration and the hot electrons phenomena will teach them otherwise.
