About graphic cards, I ran NVidias at 125MHz PCI-E clock on NForce chipsets, and at 115MHz at Intel's chipsets. No problems there. I don't really know about Radeons.
Ahaha okey, good to know.
I'm running mine with the stock 100,3. I had it previously with 100. Thats is barely nothing but I will leave it that way.

Just for those disproving my voltages:
Intel Q6xxx series max voltage is 1.55V - they took much abuse with few killed ones.
Q9xxx series max voltage is 1.4V - many dead.
i7 9xx (Bloomfields) max voltage is 1.55V - took so much abuse, few killed.
i7 980X/990X (Gulftowns) max voltage is 1.4V - many, many dead.
i7 2xxx (SandyBridge) max voltage is 1.52V - some dead already, but IMO caused by different reasons (Air cooling on high frequency, high VccIO, VccSA, etc...)

You get my point?

People get used to one generation that can take the punishment, then continue punishing next one, until ending up with dead CPU.
So intel's maximun recommended voltage is more than 1.5?
I thought it was 1.35.

And then about your clarification about others cpus, you have tested all of them and have many of them dead, isn't it?
So refering to your experience you found the maximun vcore for each generation, after many dead ones... kill one save a thousen(?)

What I couldn't understand is your last comment, what do you mean with "then continue punishing next one, until ending up with dead cpu"?
Sorry

Thanks for your reply!
