Winchester Safe Voltage?

[ZombieJesus]

I am in the process of finding a good overclock form my 3500 winchester.

I have a zalman 7700-cu with as5 so temp is not really a problem.

My question is can going up to 1.6 or higher cause dammage if temps are well under control? Or is any voltage safe as long as you have good temps?

i would stay under 1.7.

110% of stock vcore if youre a pvssy.

1.4 * 1.1 = 1.54v

From what I understand, 1.65 is the highest you want to stay at for more than testing purposes. But I want the final word on this: Do voltages that are too high matter if you are sufficiently cooled?

i.e. I'm running at -1000 degrees... can I push 10 volts through my chip?

if this is the case, there should be no reason you can't run at 1.7 if your CPU's temperature is staying in a reasonable range..

Time to draw out the electrical engineers!

I'm no electical engineer, but a circuit is designed to handle only so many volts. So yes, you will reach a ceiling. Where it is, I have no idea.
