Whats a safe limit of vcore for northwood 2.4C overclock?

[Naruto]

I am currently at 1.50 ~ 1.53v @ 3.2GHZ. I think I can get 3.3ghz at 1.6v, should i push it? I'm using a zalman alcu-7000 with fan at 2100rpm.

i thought 1.7+v would kill a NW ?

on air noway.... its not worth the extra heat for 100mhz you'll never notice. now on water thats another story.

Oh please. The default on that chip is 1.525. A measly increase of .05 will better your chances. Heck you can even go to 1.60 if you want.

when will people learn no matter what type of cooling you have electromigration cannot be stopped?
P4's suffer greatly when their vcore is jacked way up... thinks of SIDS for CPU's.

You guys are living life on the edge. Intels SNDS is a fact of life when higher Vcores are applied. I killed mine after two months at 1.675 and I cried like a baby. Before that I ran two years at 2.1 Vcore with a Tbred..bartons don't like this kind of voltage but will manage fine at 1.95ish. I watercool all my comps. Personaly after seeing some steller results even at stock vcore I would'nt go past 1.625.

model 10 AMD's (bartons) are rated to a absolute max of +.5v over "stock" so 2.15v....but your just crazy running that high
under 2.0v idle under 2.0v under load...you should be good on pretty much anything...air is just gonna run hot as all hell
but once you cross the 2.0v barrier your asking for trouble...then again Killabee over on the Hardforum has had his t-breb b 2100 (i think it is) at like 2.1 or 2.2v for the last year or so with no problems...probably even higher now LOL
