ok up to now i thought my cpu would be safe as long as i keep temps under 70c and i keep upping voltages. but from a thread in this section i just found that theres a point where the voltage would actually increase the rate which the cpu degrades faster or something and i was wondering what would this be for a C2D cpu? 65nm?
 
The max recommended voltage for 65nm core2duos is around 1.45-1.5, but like has been said already, its more dependent on the temps. I personally wouldn't go over 1.45 on air.


but say if i pump 1.5v into cpu and temp on load only 50c should i go futher or is there a limit of safe voltages i can put in even temps are fine?
