I have just bought one of these and have got it up to 2.6 at 1.5 VCore..
My temps are hovering around 50* under full load, and its really hot in my room at the mo...

Whats the max safe voltage to put through it?Using an XP-120 to cool it
 
I tend to limit my voltages to 1.55V, although I don't like running over 1.5V all the time. Just got my new X2 chip today and am running it at 1.45V to get 2.7GHz:D
 
Me? I got myself a 4200 today:)

Didn't clear the CMOS when I put it in and it booted at my 3700 settings. It boots at up to 2.8 but is prime stable for a few hours at 2.7GHz with 1.45V. Going to leave it priming over night to see how stable it is. The temps are a bit worrying though, its reaching 60C with a Ninja on top! :eek:

Im pretty sure the TDP for the X2s are around 57-60C so you're really pushing it there :D

I've swapped the Amber for a Vantec Stealth and it seems to shift a bit more air, keeps the temps around 55C. Still a bit hot for my liking.. Going to have to order a new fan me thinks. Quite like the look of those S-Flex ones, bit pricey but the specs seem decent, anyone had any experience with them?
