Something reasonable to match my DDR1160+ RAM. The higher the NB the more efficient the RAM gets as well. But I see people hitting damn high clocks on the NB, although most are WC'd or even sub-zero, but still. Read on further this post cause I made a up

Yeah, we already saw 3Ghz happening, but that was with 1.45~1.5V. And to be honest, Ive no single idea how safe those Voltages are. In the end an IMC ain't a CPU core, but whether it's more sensitive or maybe not at all, I dont know.

Anyway, I just ran my previous 'stable' OC test and it BSOD'd. Since Im writing everything down on paper I decided to look at it again, turning out I only tested my NB with a 8x multi (2.33Ghz) using Memtest for ~8.5% coverage Now that's a stupid screw up since that doesnt say anything at all. Already found it strange I could go from 7x to 8x using the same Vnb and after that no scaling anymore.

Anyway, so Ill have to test 8x again Does anyone have a clue what might be moderate safe (FWIW) Voltages for the NB though?
