Peace

forgive me if i missed it somewhere but one thing im always curious about is how much voltage is too much. for everything. im always afraid of pushing my voltage up to high on my cpu, or my ram or htt link or anything. mabey you or someone else could give me some insight on this?

Wouldnt that depend entirely on the CPU make and model?

I think last time i looked up one of my processors specification sheet it had "normal" temperatures, voltages, clock, etc etc and the maximum stable limits tested themselves as well.

But it would be interesting to hear if there was a correlation/formula between clock speed and maximum voltage, etc ? :confused:

thats kinda what i was looking for. its also why i posted it in the athlon oc sticky, mabey atif knows something about this stuff. i just cant really afford to be toasting anything right now :D mabey ill do some research and see what i find.

does the 2.8 GHz 5600 OC to a higher end
frequency than the 3.0 GHz 6000 ?
