Safe Voltage

[debovenk2002]

Well I bought a P4 2.4B right when the 2.8's came out and I instanly oc'd it to 2.7GHz at the default voltage (1.5V) and have been running like that ever since.
Now I want to know the highest safe voltage I can use with out woring about the chip going up in smoke or falling victim to the S.N.D.S. Don't want that to happen. Is 1.65 to high.

My System
-----------------------
CoolerMaster ATC-201C-SX2
Asus P4B533-E
P4 2.4B @ 2.70Ghz (Default Voltage)
256MB Corsair PC-2700
ATI AIW Radeon 7500
Maxtor 60GB 7200RPM
Sound Blaster Live! Platinum
Pioneer DVD-117 / HP 9100i CD-RW

1.65v should be ok.

i've seen alot of ppl say 1.7 is the max, don't go above. good luck~RCTG

10% incress in Vcore is generaly safe

15%, the risk of a dead CPU starts to be come present

20% if you can not afford to lose the CPU, this is a bad idea with the benfits of upping the Vcore starting to fade

25% all benifits of incressing the Vcore are pretty much gone by this point and killing the CPU due to voltage is almost 100%

Especially when ur motherboard overvolts like the Asus P4PE. That sucks

Well I think 2.7Ghz is the top for me. Once I have the $ I will get a faster c1 stepping chip

Thanx for the reply
