It's a good question, I haven't heard of anyone killing their 45nm AMD chips yet from excessive voltage.
So other than the conservative opinion on what is bad or good based on what AMD says is the spec, I suppose no one can really answer your question yet.
Unless someone here has come across a reporting or two of dead Phenom II's? If you have please let us know.
The 45nm chips start to deteriorate quickly when you get them into the high 1.5s
I don't doubt this to be true, but no one really expects otherwise to begin with.
What we are lacking is the data to substantiate our opinions that this is the case.
Even something as simple as a few forum posters posting first-hand experience of degredation would be better than the current lack of anything remotely resembling data/proof.
