What sort of volts are you guys using to push past 3.2-3.4GHz? Am I safe going to 1.5v with watercooling?
Mine's at 1.5v in BIOS (only 1.42v under load) for 3.33ghz under water.

But your load temps will really make your decision for you tbh.

68c under load is v impressive for the stock cooler .... roll out the WC .. whats interesting though (and I cant get my head around why it would be this difference) is that you are running this @ 1.45 @3.4 where as I'm running my b3 at 1.41 @ 3.5 .... have you just not played around with dropping or does it just require a higher vcore ?? (possible dumb question noob alert)
 
Here is 3.6Ghz @ 1.5V with water.


Dont have a moan about voltage, temp or anything to me 'cos I am severely ****** off becaue I have no sound. :mad: And im not doing any more until I get sound back.
