I'll be using an XP-120 heatsink so what Vcore should I absolutely max out on and never attempt any higher??

I have a DFI LanParty UT mobo on the way so I'll have a high voltage as the max on the mobo and I want to be on the safe side.

I searched around for threads about this and came up with nothing.

There are times that maxing out the vcore doesn't always equal a higher overclock.

Experiment is the only way, unfortunately.

Well i honestly cant see having to go over 1.8V max....im sure the board goes over that, but most people are acheiving max oc's at 1.7-1.75

AMD offiicially puts an absolute maximum voltage of 1.65 V on 130 nm A64.
Note on Absolute Max Voltage rating (post 25)

For practical purposes, the tabulation from members overclocking Newcastle shows that all are under 1.70 V on air.
See post 2 of
A64 overclocking result collection
