Is 2.1Vcore getting Too Risky!?

my philosophy is that as long as it's under 45C under full load, pump the core as much as possible
 
on a barton they are rated to a max of .5v over stock 1.65+.5=2.15v so you can run a max of 2.15v thru them before your outta spec.
however temps mean jack shit when it comes to a .13 chip and high voltage....higher voltage causes major electromigration which will kill your chip...yes even if it was nitro cooling itll still die.
but by the time you kill the chips will be cheaper...unless you got a real finicky core thatll die out in like a week :p
 
When will people understand that temps have nothing to do with voltage. Not related to the topic, but 2v will still kill a P4 if it's under a cascade at -100C.
 
how long do you plan to run the chip for at 2.1v if thats 24/7 then no its not safe if you plan to keep the chip over a year.
 
i was just wondering about 2.1v
now what about 2.0v and 2.06v i got a abit nf7-s board
and trying to stable out 2727mhz
and so far stable at 2727 at 2.03v prime stable
so far 12 hours and going
 
NO, its not. Nuff said

EDIT: with proper cooling, (keep it to under 40 c)
