max chipset voltage nforce2?

[rogue1979]

This is old school here, have an Nforce2 chipset that has a setting called IGP voltage.

I am assuming this is the northbridge voltage?

If I set it to 1.9v (max) I can ran dual channel stable at 210MHz fsb (420DDR). At the lowest setting 1.5v it struggles to run 180 stable.

It has a very large passive cooler on the northbridge that only gets warm, the case has very good airflow and cooling.

Is this gonna fry or is 1.9v alright?

I could only set my chipset voltage to 1.7V max on my old NF7-S 2.0...not really sure what a safe range would be.

OK, I backed off to 1.8v and 205MHz fsb just to be safe.
