If your chip can complete 32M of Pi, you're ok. The guy with 1.49v on air has got balls to run that hot.

Well you are in for some nasty suprises then if you think a 32mb PI is a reference for a rig to being stable

Best thing to do is indeed a core adapted 32mb pi run, some OCCT 1 hour tests and run some 3dmark06 loops... running solely Superpi doesn't stress ya CPU/hardware enough, best to run a Superpi for each core, that's something completely different...

Why should 1.5 volts be hot ? each CPU is different, some pump out more heat at 1.35 volts than some at 1.5 volts... if he stresses it and it runs below eg 65°C (that's my safe limit some go further) no worries then... your CPU core hits 68°C during gaming that's 70 plus under Prime or co... it's all about ambient temps, airflow, cooler, IHS, CPU luck ,... there's more to heat then just voltages or VIDs...

But to each his own...
