e6600 can take more than +10%vcore 24/7

[enz660]

Ok so the stock voltage for an e6600 is like....1.3252 right? I see a lot of people running their conroe's over 1.45vcore, is this ok for 24/7 settings? Would 1.55vcore be ok for daily usage if the temps stay under 60c at full sp2004 load? (what it takes for my e6600 to run 3.6ghz stable) I want to keep this cpu until I need some quad core cpu maybe in at least 2 years? I Just dont want my cpu to die before then.

Personally, I see anything under 1.7 fine.

You should be fine as long as you have proper cooling going on, and you motherboard is not tweakin' out.

Stock voltage is diff on conroes, varies from chip to chip. I wouldnt put more than 1,45 in them, thats just me, I resell my stuff and I never beat on it. My 165 did 2.7 at 1.4 and 2.8 at 1.45 and I never pushed it more for 24/7. Your not gonna run any conroe at 1,7 on air unless you live outside in alaska. maybe 1.55

All depends on temps but I use the 15% rule typically for 24/7 usage over the VID. So if its 1.325V its will be 1.5125V in the bios. I can run mine up to 1.6V in bios and still be under the 60C mark with high clocks. All depends on the chip and the cooling solution you have.

hmm alright then, thanks for the good news! :santa:

All depends on temps (...)Temperature is only the other factor in the equation.
Excessive voltage which causes accelerated electron migration damages chips irregardless of temperature.

Ya but tempature is going to be the main issue up front that will slow most people from exceeding recommened voltages even on high end air. Clocks will up the heat, to a point where most systems will exceed the 60C barrier that people try to stay under if not the 50C barrier.

Lucky few like me can pump the volts/clocks into the setup and still be under the recommened 60C level for load.
