I know this has been asked many times in the past. Now that we have a couple of years of time logged in, what is the maximum safe core voltage for a P4 Northwood core without any risk of sudden death syndrome?
I have several Pentium 4 mobile 1.6GHz and 1.4GHz cores that I picked up on ebay for under $40 each.
They default to 1.60v on a SiS661 chipset and run very cool on air, under 40c full load.
I can raise the voltage to 1.70v by simply connecting VID3 and VID4, very easy. They both run 2400MHz on a 12x multiplier at 200MHz fsb.
These are older steppings, so they should respond to more core voltage.
