Max safe voltage for amd 3700+ ?

[Shrapnel]

Hi,

What is the max safe voltage to run my san dieago 3700+ at. MBM is currently showing 1.39V which I think is stock voltage for my Asus a8n-SLI.

I'm cooling it with Air moved by a Actic Cooler Freezer 64 pro and a load of case fans if that makes any difference?

Cheers in advance.

mine is at 1.488-1.5, using Ninja 1200RPM 120mm fan

mine was up at 1.55 stable at 2.75ghz, then i dropped it to 1.5 stable at 2.75 ghz

ok chaps. Thanks. So 1.5v is ok. What about any higher?

i wouldnt go above 1.55v and id watch the temps.

1.55 max on air. 1.6 if you're (feeling lucky or) on water.

1.55V is seen to be the max safe amount. I personally run my 4600+ at 1.5V at 2.8Ghz although it is possible to run it without any increase in voltage stable at 2.8Ghz. I wrecked the memory controller on an old A64 because it was set to auto voltage (Blame Epox for not setting it to off as default).

Thanks very much for the replies guys! I'll take what you've said onboard.

My 3200+ is running 2.5ghz on 1.53v and idles at 35-37 degrees, and 41-43 on load. Its cooled by an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 PRO

Im on an Nforce3 ECS cheap board atm until i have the pennies to buy my crossfire cards to go with DFi i have invested in.

The HT sits around 990-1000mhz, is the within safe limits too?

That all sound ok ?

Cheers for the info Ben. I'd heard that you had to keep HT as close to 1000 as possible, but not above. I could be wrong though.

So, tonight's plan is to up the voltages and see if I can make 2.8 gig stable
