How far before I change the Vcore

[tommy_knockers]

Just a quick question.

I have a cheap *** motherboard. It will accept ONLY e4300 in the C2D series.

It is limited in the fact that I cannot edit voltages.

Here is the question. How much Can I overclock my e4300 before I will need to up the voltage (eg stop)

cheers

Totally up to the particular chip mate, might do 3.4Ghz before it starts going flakey or it might do 2.8Ghz etc.. etc.. you'll know when the machine dosen't post, reboots, fails stress testing or does something silly, assuming you know your other components are up to the task.
