LOL. Sorry, I just hate those C2D's failing prematurely for seemingly no reason at all.
Hey have u ever heard/seen a c2d fail prematurely? by prematurely about how long did u mean? u have me a little bit worried now since mine is running @ 1.5125v
See, the maximum rating is 1.35V. If you feel that it is necessary to run yours 24/7 at 3.6Ghz and 1.5125V, it is definitely up to you.
It is rather difficult to say how long is too long, especially that these CPU's are only slightly older then 1 year, but I would not feel comfortable with 1.5V.
No, I have not heard about any specific cases of failure, but there is a lot of people having inexplicable stability problems after successfully running their overclocked CPU's for months.
But again - I am perfectly happy with rather modest 2.925GHz at 1.3V, and am lucky enough not to experience any signs of instability (at least so far!)
