Where you're at now is about the only 100% safe setting. You will likely be 100% safe up to a CPUz reported core voltage of 1.40 volts for 24/7 use but these processors haven't been out long enough for anyone to guarantee you that. If you can't risk a dead CPU then maybe 1.36 volts might be a better maximum number for you.Originally Posted by mysticwizard
See if you can find a mod for your board to reduce voltage droop so that your full load and idle voltages are closer together. I was able to run my overclock above with the FSB Termination voltage set to the minimum my bios allows which is 1.20 volts. Keeping this number close to the Intel spec of 1.10 volts +/- 5% for the E8400 might also help keep these processors from degrading over the long term.
