Question about safe voltages

[lbratch]

I'm currently running at 1.57V through my E6700 Conroe, and I'm getting 40 idle, 57 max under load.

Is the maximum safe voltage just to do with temperature?

Ie. can I run safely at 1.6V or 1.7V, as long as the temps are low enough? (Say below 65)

Or is there a voltage safety wall I will hit that will cause damaged regardless of the temp?

Currently at 3.6GHz too, but I'm trying to get even more out of it.

Thanks for the info, I think I will limit to 1.55V to be safe.

i wouldn't want to go that high tbh, what have you got it clocked at? mines at 3.6Ghz 1.5v

Could you give me any more details on your setup?

Even at 1.55V I'm not completely stable at 3.6GHz, but with 1.57V all is fine.
