Ok I've been reading all over the forums and I saw that most of the O/C are done with Vcores under the 1.85 limit. Now I also have a P4 1.8 that is working constantly with the Vcore set to 1.85 thanks to the pin mod....It's been like that for about 4 months and never had a problem so I am thinking is there any difference between the P4 1.8 and the P4 2.26??? Since I am willing to buy that CPU soon and I am seeng people reaching speed near the 3Ghz with 1.7 V...Could I put 1.85 to it without burning it???
I am runing the P4 with a MCX 478 + AS3
temps load=60C

Well, I've been reading that the 1.8a's aren't dying slowly like the 2.26b's. So I'm guessing after 4 months w/ a 1.85vcore means that it should be fine for the time being. Although 60 celius at load is way too high. Your throttling so you may want to clock it down or drop the voltage.
