ABIT AI7 and 2.8C, what the highest voltage I should go?

[ahsia]

I am running this puppy at 3.5GHz right now, but at 1.575v, Prime95 failed pretty quickly. I've up'ed it to 1.625v, and about to run it again. What the highest voltage I should go and still be on the safe side?

i dont pass 1.65 actual volts, abit boards tend to undervolt, so 1.675V in bios

coincidentally, 1.65 was what i needed to get to 3500 mhz with 2.8C/IS7

I agree 1.65 with the C version chips.

1.625v, still churning..... going to bed now, let's hope it is still running when I wake up....

Well, never made it to the morning, Prime95 failed one hour in. Before leaving for work, I started another run at 243*14=3.4GHz, see how long that will run. At 1.625v right now, should I even try at 1.65v? Is 0.025v going to make that much of a difference so I can at 3.5GHz without failing on Prime95?

1.65 is my max - IMHO

on my ic7, i never went above 1.675.

voltage gets you what? ...5 more fsb?
is it worth it?

i run my chips on default voltage these days....

pansy!

j/k j/k

well if you got phase change, i'm sure you wouldn't!!!

Well, I couldn't get it to run at 3.5GHz without failing prime. Didn't want to run it at 1.65v, and 3.4GHz is plenty fast. Thanks all for the help...
