I've decided to swap out my current mobo for another Biostar, this time the Tpower I45. The D2-A7 is a great motherboard (and cheap), but it is pretty limited in terms of overclocking and it doesn't allow for that precise control like on the I45.
At the moment, I'm running right around 4GHz at 1.36V which is somewhat less than what Intel lists as the max core voltage for the E8500 (1.45V). I've heard of people running past this magic number, but the thread title says it all. How much is too much?
(comp specs below)
EDIT: Intel lists several specs regarding voltage. For Vcc it lists the max as 1.45V. For VID it list 1.3625V. Which of these is regarding the processor core voltage?
