Vcore I would max out 1.6V for short benches... Regarding ya question I'm not a technical engineer and I get completely lost in reading Anandtech's and others specs and analysis of settings... regarding PLL, Loadline calibration and FSB termination voltage... I gathered the last one was the most dangerous as it killed the Anandtech CPU...

I got it from the big boys that even 1.7V PLL is completely safe with CPU's... so I stick to 1.6 PLL ; might be one of the reasons I cannot breach 475FSB...
But I have enough with 450FSB on all my quad CPU's, just the wolfdale has to undergo 500FSB torture...

Thanks , I get an overvoltage warning at 1.6v , should I reduce vcore a notch ? Or ignore/change settings ?

VTT killed the CPU we are hearing about at anandtech. And it seems to be pretty well proven that raising the PLL at all quickly lowers the Max FSB of the CPU.
