I am curious as to how high I can safely take my vcore on my proc listed below it is weird because my processor takes quite a bit of voltage to get a high oc I am at 1.825v for 2.2ghz right now I see sooo many 2500's hitting 2.4ghz tho and I am wanting to get that high but I have to hit over 2v vcore to do so which I have booted into but I've been told anything over 1.9v is not good? at 2.03v vcore I idled at 41c didn't check load but prolly not much higher my temps tend to raise 3-5c under load with my setup any advice would be greatly appreciated...also am I the only one with this stepping I have not came across anyone that has the aqxca stepping on a 2500+

I wouldn't suggest taking your voltages about 1.9v if you're not watercooled. If you do, make sure your temps are alright, and make sure you check your load temp!

The reason others are getting such good clocks with their 2500+'s is probably because they have a different stepping. It might be that your stepping isn't as scalable as others, not that you're not giving it enough voltage.

if I'm not hitting over 50c under load then its not gonna damage anything will it? thats basically what I'm trying to find out
