Currently sat at 1.475 for 3ghz and temps are idle 35 degrees full load 47 degrees how much more is safe on air?

 
That voltage is perfectly safe. Generally the rule of thumb is keep temps below around 50-55 under load. Nice clocking.

Indeed, i imagine anything upto 1.55v will be fine really, i've had my old newcastle chip running at that for over a year, and all went fine. Well i lie, for the majority of the time i had 1.7v through it :o
 
Temps mate thats all id be woring about., I have my rig next too a window
with all the fans sucking the cold air in and i aint fussed about using 1.6v on air as long as the temps are good.

But hay 1.5v to be safe. :)
 
Booted at 3.2ghz but died soon after.PSU isnt upto the job im afraid,temps were still below 40 though even at 1.5v

Shame to be honest, decent overclock there. Get a Seasonic. :p Will last you a while before you consider another power upgrade.

Damn lol... these are stock clocks of 2.0GHz, if you hit 3.2GHz with your new PSU, I'll be pretty excited to see some results. :D Enermax or the Seasonics are the way to go!
