Is this a good stepping?

Yeah I think that's pretty decent too really, what else are you meant to say...
"Ohhh OcUK pleeeeeease help me!"
What happened to just not replying to a post if you didn't like it? To me this guy just wants some experienced users feedback rather than a million results for purchasing chips on etc.

1.65 caused no problems whatsoever (on water) 100% orthos small fft's load was low-mid 50's after 8 hours. Didn't use it for 24/7 though, 3.6 - 1.54v. High voltage will obviously shorten the lifespan of the cpu but I change mine every 6 months or so so it won't effect me, and tbh in 2 or 3 years time the e6600 will probably retail at less than £100 anyway, so even if it did live a short life - replacing one will be no biggie. I have yet to hear of a conroe being killed by excessive volts and they have been around for more than 6 months already - tempting fate I guess but part of the overclocking fun is the fear/rush that something may go wrong and rejoicing when it dosn't 
I wouldn't advise anyone to put that much vcore through there cpu's though without having the knowledge that it 'could' go all wrong and having funds to replace it - never killed a cpu yet through overclocking tbh.
Got a new cpu now though which dosn't need nearly as much voltage to reach the same speeds but runs a lot hotter regardless - week 32a.

And w3bbo, what about concordes conroe. One of the cores died after running at 1.55 24/7
Wouldn't think that would be down to too much voltage. Could have been a problem with the CPU acclerated by voltage maybe, or just a random failure. Unlikely that much voltage actually killed the CPU.
Have run ~ 1.9v into a 6600 for short(ish) periods of time (ie 7-8 hours) and doesnt appear to be any damage to the CPU. Clocks aren't degrading etc (yet anyway lol)

Faulty product to begin with imo, it would most likely have died on stock volts too, cant see volts killing one core and not the other as the are both on the same die.
