Max volts on p4

Whats the highest volts you guys think i should take my pent 4 3.2 HT pres too. As im unsure how hard i should push it im at 1.55 v atm. Should i stop at 1.6?

Whats the default on that CPU something like 1.3?

rahzal · 24 Dec 2006 at 18:59

no im sure its a lot higher than that

Northwood then it would be 1.5-1.55 default, prescotts I can't remeber as I never ran one myself but I think they are something like 1.3 or 1.38, I wouldn't wanna run either over 1.65 and from my own experiences P4 doesn't like more than +0.05 in the long term.

EDIT: Made that 0.05 not 0.5 hehe

so is 1.6 a fair limit to take it 2 ?

oh crap I meant 0.05v ack... (on the overclocked P4s I've been involved with the max stable clock started to degrade after ~6 months on those running more than 0.05v extra)

Most people say they (the prescott) will run upto 1.6 without any problems and I've never seen anyone kill them with less than 1.68, however intel say not to run them over 1.525...

stock voltage is 1.4

I dunno personally im afraid to go higher as 1.525 and never went higher than that.

if your running higher core voltage, uprate the cooler and keep an eye on the CPU temperature.
