There are people who run higher voltage 24/7 and claim to have no issuses. Who knows I'm may change my mind later and decide to run a slightly lower O.C. with less volts.
I'm in the same boat my friend..I have to run +0.150v to run 4.2ghz
and even the nexts one up to run 4.3ghz +0.200 i have tryed
them all at different vcore changes so I'm stuck at +0.125v
on 456x9.0=4104 at 1.328v and believe me it's temping to rising
the vcore for more ghz's but..I dont wanna fry my E8400
for bein greedy but has been stable at 4.5ghz b4 much higher
vcore..that's highest..I took it so..i guess i found out how high..
I can get it Oc'd with lowest voltage b4 over volting it
Thanks to you and to all that helped me
