How safe is a 3.7v I/O setting?

It seems to make my system more stable OC'd. Could be fooling me though too.

I've been using I/O of 3.80- 3.90 most of the time. I can't seem to tell the difference yet. I have tried bumping the I/O down to 3.70 and leave the Vcore alone and still seems stable as long as the Vcore is provided sufficiently. This is what I been seeing. I'll have to do more gaming to see if the stability is different with 3.70.

Hmmm, I am thinkin my vidcard diesn't like it cause it is turning different colors but it may be something else too. I have been fooling around with different settings in the bios like video "memory cache mode" and "command per cycle". It hits the sdram or something if you have on board video I guess.

The other thing that got flaky but I don't know if it is this was my HD didn't boot one time? I shu the system down and felt my HD to see if it was hot and it was fine so I don;t know. Wouldn't want to fry my IBM 60 GXP or my Hercules Prophet II MX. I thought these IBM's were like tanks.

Safe...the VGA probs u were having is due to something else. But just to be sure...if u set the voltage back to 3.3v...do the VGA probs still occurs?

Ran prime for 5 hours now. I think that helped big time.

I heard that I/O voltage is safe and most stable under 3.4v. Well that is with AOpen motherboards.... no clue what your using.

An ASUS board. I remember my ABIT board had a default setting of 3.5. I think this is it. I found my formulae.

i run 3.6v on an Asus P4B. my memory is clocked @ 171mhz so it kinda needs it
