Like he said, if your voltage is low, of course you can get more. I have my 2100+ at 2.3 and 1.725 volts (1.77 actual). It is safe to put it up around 1.8 volts without any problem, and some people have their's past 2 volts (this may shorten the lifespan though).
for a tbred b id stay under 1.8ish max
i agree with duvie
how much will 1.8V lower your CPU life by? thanx
theres no definite answer as each system varies, along with each cpu
if stock voltage is 1.5v, you are adding 0.3v more electric force hammering away at the insides....for very small transistors and such, thats alot (.13micron)
the smaller you got the more dangerous a voltage increase is (prime example, northwood death syndrome at around 1.7v or higher)
ouch, i have a 0310WMPW 1.5V that i was running at 2200MHZ @ 1.65V. i was thinking of uping it to 1.8V to get 2300-2400 out of it but i'm not so sure anymore, thanx for the heads up
you could try 1.7v or 1.75v but that's all id go personally
and depending on the yield, i would decide afterwards
my xp2100 is at 2.2ghz fine at 1.65v, but for 2300mhz or more i need 1.8-1.85v...not worth it in my opinion
for a short period of testing to find the absolute max it won't do much, if any harm, but prolonged use at 1.8v+ would cut the life down quite a bit i would presume (if you upgrade every now and then its not a problem, but for those who wait until a new generation or two to pass by, it may end up being a problem...ive heard of a few tbred b's dying at 1.85-1.9v, so as a general rule of thumb, at least for me, i would stay under 1.75vish...1.775v is fine, but 1.8v is like the 1.7v for northwoods imo)
