1. like i already posted, ive done something similar already and will do it again if i have time. without cooling already 2.1v can degrade chips, and 2.25 can damage chips severly. as i said, i think this was caused by the temps, not by the voltages.
2. the only thing this proves is that some chips of x batch on board y with z volts get damaged/killed. to get a more reliable impression you need more results from different setups. thats why i made this thread.
