what's the highest voltage you can run a Coppermine core safely?

[spamboy]

I know that based on info from Intel's site they say the max is probably 1.8. Of course, we know that's bull. I have run 1.95 but backed off because I got scared I'd fry it before I was ready to upgrade it. How high have you guys run and for how long? Anyone run over 2.0 for months or more?

As high as .3 over default.1.9 should be safe,but run as low as possible,as long as it is stable.Too much will create unnecessary heat.1.85 will usually do the job in an overclocked environment.

1.85 is probably the highest I would be willing to run....I'd be very reluctant to run at anything above that. Apparently the maximum voltage the Coppermine can actually handle is about 2.1 volts....that's when it really blows up.

I would say 1.85v unless you have extreme cooling (Peltiers and the like).

Actually, it is running a Peltier, but with SETI working, temps are only around 30 degrees Celcius at 1.85 V, which isn't really all that cold... Overheating is not an issue, but it's not like it's spending most of it's time below zero, either.
