So i'm here with this cpu at 3.4 (340 x 10) with good temps (it's priming at 61°C max) but very high voltages (1.41 in bios and everest reading 1.34 in full load). So i'm wondering if it is safe try to get higher. I've always been told that a safe voltage for this cpu is 1.45 for air cooling, but i never went so far as my last cpus didn't need such a voltage, the last q6600 required me 1.425 to get to 3.6 Ghz (on an asus rampage formula, my 2nd rig) but theese days it's so hot that i had to set it to a safe 3.2 Ghz and still getting 67°C in full load.
So the question is: would you put 1.5 or 1.55v on a q6700 with air cooling as long as temps remains under 70°C?
