What is the maximum safe voltage for a Pentium4 3.0C Northwood, or what do you guys have yours running with?

Specs:
P4 3.0C @ 3.51GHz (234x15) [Stock Cooling VCore1.55V]
Abit IC7
2x256MB Corsair XMS PC3200LL [5:4 Mem divider: 187MHz Mem Speed]
ATI RADEON9500Pro (Warp11 BIOS) 310/301(602)

Without going too far, I'm upto 1.575v and 3.6Ghz. So far so good, I'm hoping tomorrow to see if she'll go a little higher.

Thanks guys. I'm going for it in a little while, hoping to hit at least 3.75GHz, although I'm not that confident. :)

Using stock cooling I would be careful with your temps. With good cooling 3.6 should be reachable at 1.55. 3.75 at 1.575~1.6. Usually max vcore for Norhtwood is 1.65 for daily use and temps under load max is 50 degrees.
