So I OC'd my quad and I can go 3.0ghz at stock voltage. But it seems once I get past that I have to be very generous with voltage. I got it running at 380x9 3.42ghz. But I cant get stable unless I huck a bunch of voltage at it. In the bios on my P35 board I have to run at 1.48 vcore. In windows with cpu-z it reads 1.45 at idle and 1.4 under full load. My temps look ok at 60-62 C but I am scared that I am overvolting the cpu. Is this too high? I ran prime for an hour and was fully stable. I got scared that I would be running too much voltage and then reboot and backed it down to 333x9.
Just wondering why it takes so much voltage to be stable at 3.4 and if it is too much voltage to be safe.
