Highest safe voltage for Northwood?

[OvErHeAtInG]

What are others with B0 chips running?

I built this system awhile ago but I'm trying to push it to new heights.

2.53/533. B0 stepping SL6D8. i845pev mobo.

I can't prime for more than 10 min w/o error at 2.92, 1.675 V. I'm pushing it to 1.7 right now and giving it a shot.

MBM reports peak temp of 51C so I think I'm ok there.

I know it's the cpu b/c I backed off my memory to 1:1 to test, and it's the Corsair 3200c2.

When I was first putting this thing together I think I remember someone saying "1.75 is safe," but that seems a bit high so I want to see what other people are running.

More news as it happens....

I Personally don't go beyond 1.6V, but 1.65 may not be much. Above that I wouln't mess...

1.7V for me is way off, and you can see from my rig...

I think the general concensus is 1.65v max w/ good cooling or you run a much higher risk of the Sudden Death Syndrome.

Thanks for the advice.
