View Full Version : Highest "safe" voltage

Assuming that my cpu temperatures are reasonable (48C at full load on H20 cooling--I know it's a bit hot), what's the highest voltage I can feed my overclocked 1.33ghz Axia? Would 2.1-2.2 volts damage the cpu?

I'm currently running at about 2.0 volts (Epox 8K7A mobo), but I can't get 100% stability at 1.54-56ghz, where I'd like to be. Normal programs run fine, and even my 3d modeling/rendering software runs fine (trueSpace 5). But Prime 95 craps out after about five minutes.

Thanks for your help!

Chech out the CPU database, there are lots of folks pushing 2.5 volts with both the Duron and the 1.33. Good luck.
