Umm, it would be useful if you posted what Vcore and what temps! See my signature...

2.4C at 3.3 with 1.65v (1.55 load)
my temps are 30 and 40-44 (optimistic)

Thanks.D

Looking good to me especially on air! I would not take it above 1.65Vcore (set in BIOS) though if you want your chip to last a while...

yeah, the NW will just die if you take it above 1.65 for a while

Since ive had experience with SNDS .. I might as well tell my story ... IMO even 1.65 is the limit .. but I'd still keep it @ 1.6V. I had a 2.6C @ 3.6ghz (prime stable) and I kept it @ 1.7V ... it died 2 months later and dosn't even do 3.1 or 3.2ghz stable

. Learn from others mistakes.

Thanks guys !

Lancelot - well the temps are a bit optimistic (asus was known to report lower temps), my bios vcore is actually at 1.585 (1.65 is soft), it overvolts pretty bad at idle and undervolts at load (1.55)

Thanks.D
