generally safe voltages for overclocking?

These are my system specs:
AMD 3500+
MSI Neo2 Plat
6800GT eVGA
1gig ddr400 pc3200 ram
wd HD 74gig raptor
Thermaltake 480w ps
Thermaltake tsunami dream case.


Just wondering if anyone has any idea what a safe voltage would be for overclocking both the CPU and the AGP. I believe the default for the CPU voltage was 1.8v and the default for the AGP was 1.6v. Currently i OC'ed the CPU to 214fsb but i cant go higher without the computer freezing on me. I've also OC'ed the 6800gt to 415/1124.

No the defaults are:

CPU: 1.4
AGP: 1.5
Memory: 2.5

Safe for CPU would be 1.65 max on air, 1.8? max on water, for AGP 1.6 is probably as high as you'd want it, and memory 2.85 is good.

Stock. Upping voltages on electronic components is rarely, if ever, what I would consider 'safe'.
