Hi, i have looked around for this on the board.. but not had much luck. What i'd like to know is this.

I have my Toledo core Opty 170 running well at 270x10 (prime stable), with 1.500vcore with load cpu temps of 38deg and PWMIC temps of around 40deg.

To get it to benchmark at 2.8gig, i need to put 1.7v into the cpu... which sends the load cpu temps upto 48degs and the PWMIC temps to 53degs...

Is this safe ?
 
Cheers for the advice guys.. I had my old 144 running at 3.1 for 9 months with 1.85vcore :eek: folding 24/7, she never mised a beat. Anyways, with the 170, i can get it upto 2.6 on std voltage with very chilly temps, but 2.7 needed 1.5 to become stable. Aything after that needs mega volts and creates supernova amounts of heat.

After running the 144 at 3.1 for so long, my 170's a bit of a letdown, apart from video encoding.. But my old mans new c2d e6600 blows mine clean out the water running stock! Im a bit of an AMD fanboy, but i dunno how much longer i can resist the beastly core 2..
