Who here is using more then 1.5Vcore to there C2D CPU everyday?

[newls1]

Is anyone here using more then 1.50Vcore to there conroes for everyday use? I need 1.53Vcore to achive 3.8GHz on my E6600 and was wondering how safe it will be. My temps should be controlled well, as the CPU will be W/Ced with its own triple 120mm rad.

I run 1.575V for 3.6 Ghz (400x9). Run almost 24/7, idle high 30s, low 40s and full load high 50s, Orthos load low 60s. This is on a cheap watercooling system.

The nvidia 680i overclocking manual listed 1.58750 as the max safe voltage.

Ive run as high as 1.68v measured with a DMM on water and everything was 100% fine.

for how long though? That's like pressuring up a soda bottle past it's capacity and saying, yeah, it can hold it for the 2 minutes i left the pressure that high. but it might burst from more long term stress.

I run 1.6v 24/7 through mine for stability @ 4ghz, and 1.7v @ 4.4ghz.

[rob[GL]]

I've been running 1.55v on my X6800 for the past 6 months, never had a problem.

[baracus2k]

i run 1.625V 24/7 @ 3.5ghz (1.55-1.57V in windows) on a arctic freezer 7 pro

like a week, even orthos ran fine...

I cant believe how different the answers here are compaired to [H] forum. The people @ the [H] for the most part say 1.5 is to much, and will damage the chip, but here 1.5 seems to be the norm. I love it here, you people are great! I figured that as long as I keep the temps in check, shouldn't be an issue. Besides, when I set 1.535Volts on my ASUS board, im really getting only 1.46xx something anyways.

LOL I think we've all learned from history that saying 'you people' in any situation is a no no LOL. =)

I have 1.45 (almost 1.5) for 3,6 G - 450*8.

H is full of people that are scared of everything degrading..which it doesnt...people there actually build 1 computer and use it for like 3-4 years, which is just hilarious...H is a great place to start out at..but it just becomes a joke

I've been using between 1.55-1.565v on my E6400 with a Big Typhoon.

Just a bit over 1.6v on my E6600 on water.

[newls1]

thanks everyone

This is nonsense. There are some hard guys there just like their are NooBs here. Don't generalize. W1zzard, who just got made a legend here, has been on that hardforum for years and was writing softmods for video cards for at least 5 years. Can you write your own softmod hacks?

I'm running more THAN (as opposed to the ebonics "then") 1.5: 1.525v on Big Typhoon (3.34 GHz), doing D2OL and Folding 24/7 until my Vapo comes back from Jin's shop, then back to 1.7 (4.4+). It's a $300 processor. If it borks, I'll buy a quad.

But for some people, a burned CPU means no more computer. If you are too poor to replace a component, maybe you should be more careful! Keep in mind, newls1, that some people here 1) have more money than brains or 2) get their equipment for free. The culture here is run it on the bleeding edge until it explodes, and if does, buy another one. Perhaps your budget does not allow for such a cavalier attitude?

For the record, I've done more damage with extreme cooling (and condensation) than with heat.

Intel recommends to stay below 1,55 V.

Same here, last week my Vapo claimed an AW9D-MAX, P5B-Dlx, and a DFI ICFX3200. I revamped my entire insulation apparatus this go around and it's been running flawlessly for near a week now on my new ICFX3200.

On my E6600, the max. voltage is 1.35v (on the box). It only just so happens that that's what it took to get it to 3.2 - and that's what "I" wanted.

I prefer to keep voltages as low as possible.
For now i'm using 1.4V ,that's 1.4375V in bios, enough to run Orthos small ftt's for 8 hours.

Hell, i haven't even tried over 1.5325V (in bios) for benches.
I'm a chicken.

[WesM63]

1.5v 24/7 for 8months straight on my ex e6600es under water. No problems, ran like a champ till i took it out last week.

[rick_fx]

I run 1.42V for 3.9Ghz on air 24/7. Temps stay in the low 40C's

No, that's only the default operating voltage, it's not really a 'max' voltage.

No, it's listed as the max (1.35); the default is 1.325.
