What the max safe voltage for E8200/E8400/E8500 cpu's

As title....

Am not sure what the max safe voltage i can go up to for my E8500 CPU....(watercooled)

Can i go higher then 1.425v ??

It's the fact the 45nm are very susceptible to degradation when you go over a certain voltage threshold. I think it's around 1.45?

This is what was worrying me....(as i don't want to damage my new cpu for a few weeks)

I'd stay where you are, you really are not going to see much real world difference by pushing it more and possibly introducing degradation.

Am surpised my motherboard is running it perfectly stable at 4.2ghz............as i had a 400FSB wall with my e6600 cpu installed..

I just got an E8500, and on the sticker on the side it says "1.25V max". When I saw that I was really confused due to what I read in this thread... what do you guys think about it?

On the side of the box for an E8500 (45nm) it says 1.225volt max and on the side of the box for an e6600 (65nm) it says 1.35volt max
