Simple question (I hope) really.
How much voltage can I throw at my MCH before I start frying stuff.
Trying to run 8 X 400 on my P35-DS3P but it just isn't stable unless I throw +0.3 at the MCH and it gets rather toasty.
Perfectly fine at 10 x 320, which gives me the same 3.2Ghz out of the chip, but the extra FSB gives me soooooooooo much more memory bandwith I figure its worth it to run at 400.
So, any ideas?
 
depends on the cooling more than just the voltage...on the IP35 Pro i think i got to 1.6V (+0.35V) before i needed to add a fan to the heatsink, without the fan the temp would hit 90C when stressed. On the plus side I finally found a use for an Antec Spot Cooler ;)
