Hey people,
Just like the title says, I have my E8400 @ 4ghz right now (FSB 445x9) @ 1.36v (1.344v @ full load CPU-Z).
However, to go anywhere past 4ghz, the CPU requires a significant bump in voltage... for example, I have it now @ 4.1 ghz @ 1.4v (1.384v in CPU-Z)...
My question is... how suicidal is this? Am I risking the life of my CPU? Would you guys accept 1.4v as a 24/7 voltage?
Temps are nice, i guess. On a Zalman CNPS7500, idle temps are around 38ºC and load temps are around 58-60ºC.
What do you guys think? Am I risking too much? Is 100 extra mhz worth this increase in Vcore?
I know most people will probably say no... but it's kind of a psychological mark you know, to actually have it above 4ghz...
Cheers!
