I am curious what any fellow P4E overclockers are comfortable
pushing their voltages to. I am currently tweaking mine to
3.8 @ 1.55v, everything works great cept for 3dMark05 (crashes at the last
benchmark), and I think I may need more juice.
Anyone here pushing their P4E past 1.55v?

i keep mine around 1.5v
when i hook my subzero water cooling up i'll feel more comfortable pushing it to 1.55 ish

If you have a good chip, it shouldn't need too much voltage to give good overclocks. I don't recommend surpassing 1.55 on air and 1.60 on water.
I had a 2.6C that did 3.3ghz at default voltage, but wouldn't go further with increased voltage unless I put it under watercooling.

if 3dmark is crashing during cpu test....I believe you need more juice. that was happening to my P4C overclock.

For P4C's the max supported vcore by Intel is 1.55, for everyday use most overclockers say 1.65 in Windows.
