Reasonable maximum core voltage for Winchester?

I got my 3000 Winchester to boot into Windows at 9x280 at 1.550V. Had to back all the way down to 9x250 to get it rock stable at that voltage. What would be a reasonable maximum overvolt? I'm willing to push the envelope some but don't want to fry it. I'm using good air cooling.

thanks for the link but nobody seems to have a good handle on the Winchester voltages.

1.6 should be very safe as long as your temps stay ok. I'd even say 1.65 will be ok, but I wouldn't go that high unless you got some good cooling.
 
I beleive at this point it realy depends more on temps then anything else, and since air cooling has improved a lot recently (top air coolers, like the xp 120 can match some water cooling systems) its hard to give a maximum. I am currently running mine at 1.616 volts but my load temp never goes above 48C, not sure how safe the voltage is, but temp appears fine so I will stick with it until I start seeing problems.
