boeingaviation Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Hi folks, Would someone please be able to tell me what are the safe limits for this chip in regards to the core voltage displayed in CPUID? Currently I am at 1.32v in CPUID and 1.3875 in the BIOS. Now I read somewhere that the limits are between 0.8-1.4v for the E8500, but if I want to go over 4ghz I need to raise it a little above 1.4v and wondered if that was safe and wont kill the CPU? Cheers, boeingaviation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Eventually even stock volts will kill your chip. On the 8400 and 7300 I had 1.4 was fine for my 24/7 4GHz clocks but the 8400 would need some additional to get to 4.2 prime stable. Keep your cooling in check and you should be fine as long as you dont start pushing 1.5 day in and day out. At 1.4 these chips get a bit warm.
