Hey guys,
What do you guys recommend as the highest voltage for a P4 2.8? I have mine at 1.65V now and it runs smoothly @ 3.15, however the chip can go much higher but is unstable as hell.

Here's my rig...

Gigabyte 8SQ800
P4 2.8 - Swiftech MCX4000 with Vantec Tornado
4 x 256MB Crucial DDR2100 @ 300MHz running in dual channel mode (will go up to 333, not stable though)

Is that voltage actual or bios?
Load or Idle?

Be sure to check it using MBM, CPU_Z, etc in Windows
and keep the actual voltage below 1.65v. Going above
1.575v will most likely not give you enough gain to make
it worth the risk.
