Highest safe vcore?

[high]

Hi all just wondering when I should stop. Currently I'm trying to get my 2500+ to 2.4. I'm at 11x213 right now on 1.75 vcore and I'm wondering how high I can safely put it?? My temps right now are 42 Idle / 54 Load with OCZ Gladiator 3 and AS5

i wouldnt go higher than 1.75

some people will go 1.8 but thats pushing it in my book

i guess if i had the funds to replace the cpu it would be more acceptable

Ok cool, I am at 1.75 and I think that's my limit But at 1.8 and 11x215 while running Prime and 3dmark it rebooted and 1.8 and 11x213 prime failed about 30 tests in. Now i'm trying 11x211 at 1.75 @ 2.33 which is enough I think. I guess it won't do 2.4 without going over 1.8

2.33 is a VERY nice OC, i would keep it @ 1.75 and count my blessings it went that high

I was running my xp1700 @1.9V for a month with no problems but my temps were 38C idle 48C full load with my slk800. I backed it down to 1.8V now cause i had to lower my fsb due to ram instability. If your cooling is sufficient , 1.9V shouldn't hurt anything but others will disagree

So the general consensus is 1.8 after undervolting?? My load temp right now is 57C idle is 38 at 1.8 undervolted to 1.77. I know this chip has a lot more speed in it but I"m scared now, lol. I think a 2.31 oc with 220 FSB and 3200 RAM 1:1 is enough for me, but then again, when is oc'ing ever enough knowing if you just reboot and hop into the BIOS and put up the fsb a few more mhz it'll be that much faster?? Ah gotta love it never being enough.
