Thoroughbred voltage

I have a Thoroughbred 1800+ with an EPOX 8K9A2+. Everything runs fine, and it is currently overclocked to 2.00 GHz, at a 1.84 Vcore. I have nice temps,, idle is at 37C. How high can I go on Vcore? I have heard of Northwoods dying prematurely because of too high voltage, can this be true of 0.13 micron Athlon?
Also, how high can I go on Vdimm? I have a Mushkin DDR266 module, and it boots at 333MHz with 2.9V, however it crashes in Windows. Should I try it at 3.0 V? (At 2.9V, the heat spreader is not even warm).
 
Well I don't think that anyone here is going to be able to offer you any hard data on exactly how high is too high and what the chances of you toasting your chip are. I can tell you that the highest that AMD actually volts these chips at is 1.65V on the 2200+ TB Rev. A. I have been running mine at 1.725 (2.01 GHz) for a few days now. I have heard some freaks here running at 1.9V. I guess it's cheap enought that it won't matter if you do fry it, the problem is that that sort of thing always seems to happen at the worst possible times.
