i have my new 3500 winnie at 2.7GHz 1.55v.
XP-90 w/ 92mm Tornado (temps are way under 40c at full load)

i would like to push it higher.

but i have no idea if its safe to give it 1.65v - 1.7v :confused:
 
I would recommend pushing the voltage as high as you can until the load temps start breaching 50C.

Also, sometimes applying more voltage just doesn't realize any gains...

What MB ru using?
 
system specs:

Athlon 64 3500+ (winnie)
DFI NF4 LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D
4x 512MB Corsair DDR3200
ATi X800 XL 256MB 256Bit
Audigy 2 Gamer
WD Raptor 74GB
2x Hitachi 80GB RAID0
Antec 430TRUE

Thermalright XP-90 w/ 92mm Tornado
 
I ran mine @ 1.9v on stock cooling, there is a thread @ xtreme where someone did 2.1v on stock cooling for an hour and tons of people run @ 1.8-9

Now that's stupid, but they are NOT as fragile as everyone thinks. The early week ones were, but the later weeks memory controllers dont die nearly as easily (however they also dont clock as well).

I'd say if your temps are in control, 1.7v is perfectly fine 24/7 on stock. But watch the temps.
