max & optimal voltages for 2600k?

[avatar[djedi]]

Hey guys, I didn't see this clearly spelled out...

What are the maximum voltages allowed/recommended for a 2600k processor? (I recall someone mentioning a max safe voltage of 1.52v... but it was anecdotal evidence i believe...)


Does an increased voltage shorten the lifespan? If so, are there any numerical guidelines for how much it is shortened? e.g. @1.5v lifespan is shortened aproximately 40%. @1.35v lifespan is shortened 10%, etc.

Thanks!

i highly doubt even if you shortened its life span by running 1.52v that you will even own that chip anymore.

Nothing Anecdotal about this....

I don't know how I missed the thread titled "Max sandy voltage"... Thanks!

No one knows for sure. That white paper in the thread linked is just the maximum VID the chip can request - doesn't have anything to do with the actual max safe voltage. Only time will tell.
