Is my VCore too high? - Page 2

Maybe you're being a little rough eh? The kid's trying to help out a little. He's not an extreme overclocker (hell, I'm not). He hasn't messed with every pc platform known to man. He hasn't read every thread about every oc adventure. Maybe he doesn't know that hardware limitations morph from generation to generation. And maybe he didn't bother posting about his 8.7GHz P4 because it wasn't possible for him to run it like that for any period of time, thus it was irrelevant.

Why are we still discussing P4's or who's does what in this thread? Please move to the OP's topic, and stay there.

Only thing I modified was the CPU VCore, same clocks at 25x176MHz.

That voltage is fine for that chip, imo.

Bear in mind that the i7 920 is based on 45nm manufacturing process (Nehalem), while the i7 980 is based on a 32nm node (Gulftown).

Anyway anything up to 1.45v is safe for 32nm on my book just keep temperatures in check.

True, but it's still the same chipset. Same everything, other than the processor's oc capability and temps.
