I wonder why voltage tolerance has gone UP since 90nm Athlon 64...

I didnt dare to push more than 1.55v into my A64 X2 for 24/7... :P

Well 1.55 is what AMD claims is the max safe for 45nm... 90nm were monsters. I was running like 1.7v on those.

I think the most I saw on ripping was 1.65 on air and 1.75-1.78 on LN2 or, close to 0c...

Nice to know you were doing 1.7v on air/water. :P

Pretty sure people were pushing 2V on extreme cooling. I was in the 1.9 range on dry ice with my opteron 146. That thing was a beast. Chipped 2 corners of the die, smashed a few SMD caps, and the guy I sold it to still got it prime stable at 3.2ghz on water.

Sheesh...alas my 5600+ has been cleaned (92% alcohol) and remounted so many times the watermarks have worn away...and scratches have appeared...

I'm gonna end up lapping it someday, I just know I will.

It looks nothing like the pic at left anymore...
