I'm just wondering exactly how much voltage people are willing to put into their Intel CPU's when overclocking.
 
I put 1.9V through my 1.8A at 2.2
it ran stock at 1.75 It was a strange CPU...it ran super cool, took so much power...and only had 256K of cache....:confused:

But if I had a computer to toy around with and had no other use for it. I'd max out the voltage.
 
Actually what I'm wondering is how high will people set their voltage to overclock a machine they are using daily?

Basically do you have a certain voltage where you say "Yup that's as high as I'm willing to go"
 
What ever is needed to run as fast as your want it, although you must have enough cooling. :)
I'd have my 2500@ 2.15 V, havent really tried a lot with my xp-m 2500 now.:D
 
for newer intels that aren't prescott the max is 1.7, after that your in sudden northwood death syndrome zone.
 
good lord guys... he's asking about INTEL chips..

1.7 as a rule of thumb is where people generally stop due to SNDS, but many people regularly run them over that voltage... it depends how ballsy you feel.
 
i won't go over 1.675 on a NW but my old P4 1.4 i run it at 1.9v all the time. 1.675 is my max for the NW and over 1.7v is goin into SNDS territory which is a bit scary for a student like me who does have much money to burn. and going over 1.7 volts isn't gonna provide alot more stability so i don't see the point
