I have a P4 3.2 EE fully stable at 4 ghz at 1.65 actual 1.63. My current settings are fully stable in prime 95, games etc. Temps are -24 degrees idle and between 0 and -3 C load.
I ran my 3.0c at 1.7v from day one in my VapoPE...that was 6 months ago. No problems at all!! I now have my 3.0c under a Thermaltake SP-94 at 1.7v with no problems. I think you are safe taking it to 1.7v. But beyond that you're asking for it!
You can probably get away with 1.7 for a while, but there's substantial evidence that suggests good cooling will not prevent the ill effects of high voltage on P4's.
