Safe voltage for 2.4b SL6RZ?

[Trader05]

I'm getting a chance to overclock my 2.4b since i've upgrade my ram, just wondering what's the highest voltage i'd be safe at?

lots of folks like to stay below 1.700v...I like 1.65v and some others prefer 1.600v

Id say 1.65v

I have a 2.4b @ stock voltage up at 3.2ghz (SL6RZ) and I think it's safe enough there. If I crank the voltage a little, say to 1.625v, I'm sure it'll break 3.3ghz stable. However, I don't really think that 100mhz is necessary so I like it down there at 3.2ghz. But yes, generally under 1.7v is safe but, IMO, can still slowly deteriorate a processor. Of course by the time it does, technology should have a better toy for you.

1.65v max

but like plenty here are already saying ~ the extra vcore aint gonna get you far, and may not really be worth it.

Agreed, 1.65 MAX,

might experience a sudden death @ 1.7v

I agree...once I started using above 1.65v anyways it seems as I got errors in divx. My albatron undervolts .07v so I set to 1.65v to get 1.58v at current listing down below....When I set it at 1.725v to run at 1.65-1.66v I only get a 5fsb more....Not really worth the heat and the fact I have to run a 1:1 ratio and my memory 80mhz lower.....
