i dont member if he changed his loop or not but its either 2 or 3 tripples so 1.6v+ doesnt even make it sweat
my rad is equevelent to 3 tripples and 1.6v will stress a rad even at that size........thing is theres a point where more voltage has no effect and cooling the cpu (dropping the temp) is the only way to move forward.

But theres something about these current C3 chips thats making them go higher with less volts.....not sure if AMD has changed something or those are higher binned chips?? but theres definitely a trend of these higher ocing(100-200) cpus with a bit less voltage than the first c3's,
