Kingfisher Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 If temps were not an issue(assuming hovering around 60c full load), how many of you would run/have run your overclocks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days year pumping 1.6v + through a C2D cpu ?

Onion Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Me either, but I don't think that chip would last very long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turophiliac Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) maybe... providing it was a 65nm chip. but that's only if I truly needed it. so, i'd say its 50/50. Definitely not on a 45nm.

Onion Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 45 nm would croak in under a week. If you find one that tolerates vcore rather well (and is 65 nm) then it might go for a year. I really dont recommend it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScavenger Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 No way. maybe...If I had a little lot money... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I would on my quad if it gave it a lot more mhz. But I think most C2Q's when you start hitting higher than ~1.55v the voltage increase/mhz gain ratio drops considerably. I'd have no problem running 1.6v. I also have no problem letting my temp hit 79C in stability testing. But i'm also willing to buy a new cpu if I burn it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baulten Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Not through an Intel. Noooooooo way. Maybe an AMD under water/phase change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekiM Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Sorry to hijack your thread, but would my E8400 be alright with 1.425V 24/7? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont recommend it though. That's a load of bollocks! I ran my E6400 at 1.615V's (CPU-Z, 1.65 BIOS) for like 2 weeks it was perfectly fine! Still working today in a mates computer!

Zertz Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I wouldn't Especially 45nm chips which can run at 1V, so 1.6V would be 60% increase over stock... sure I did it a few times, but certainly not 24/7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
