2.8 GHz at 1.4v, or 3.0 GHz at 1.525v for 24/7 use?

I'd say 2.8 ghz, the extra vcore just isn't worth 200 mhz of performance.

Ricemarine, why dont you use the maximum overclock + vcore but enable Cool & Quiet to lower voltage at idle/low utilisation? That way you get the best of both worlds. I'm presuming here that CnQ works with dual core cpus these days (wasn't there a bug in the past?). I have to use 1.55v to get my measly 2.5GHz overclock on a 144, but when I'm doing noddy stuff like surfing, CnQ lowers the multiplier to x5 & the vcore to 1.25v which gives the cpu a rest, keeps the fan noise down & consumes less lecky. And I dont even notice that I'm running a 1.4GHz processor.

Cause I rather not have my clock go up and down ... Constant FTW.
