I'm using a chrome orb and running the CII at 850. The default voltage is 1.5V, I'm running it at 1.8V because it is the lowest voltage allowed on my GA-6BXC mb.

Is 1.8V too much.
How about 1.85 or 1.95V because I'm going to try and hit 952mhz.

The Coppermine processors have a fairly good tolerance range, but with yours at a default 1.5 volts, I would be very reluctant to go over 1.85 volts.

Just don't go over 2.05 without peltiers and/or watercooling.

1.8 V is perfectly fine. You'd probably want to get a better fan to go any higher though
