i think standard is around 1.5v, stay under 1.6 and you will be fine.

i used to run mine at 1.65 i think thats the max safe vcore, some others say 1.6 is max

[mr_anderson187]

you sure? my old 1700+ started at 1.6 and went (with cooling) all the way to 2.1

i 'thought' it started at 1.6v (probly a guess based on my old athlon chip) doesnt seem like much of a range, id rather have a concrete value that it will be at stock at, so i know when i shoudl start overclocking from

right.

i wasnt far wrong.



see the arrow, 1.525max.

i still say 1.65 is max for air cooling though

Thanks, 2.1v it is lol, still dont know what its stock is though? its max wouldnt be its stock no?

i say anything above 1.5v is too much for air cooling.
