If cooling isn't a problem, how high can I raise my vcore?

[monster64]

People say that you shouldnt raise your vcore too high because your cpu will get too hot and only people with watercooling should raise their cpu vcore over 1.6 (on a venice.) Well cooling isnt a problem for a me. At 1.6v my 3500+ venice @ 2700 mhz gets to 51C MAX. (XP-90 with a 90mm fan doing 60-80 cfm.) How high can I raise my vcore? I know heat isn't the only issue with a high vcore and that's what I want to be careful of.

At a higher vcore you have a higher chance to own your cpu, and you get less life out of it the higher you raise it. I'm fully aware of that on my mobile 2500+ with a 1.825v core, but I don't care because I plan on getting a 3800+ X2 soon, and it should last me long enough

i wouldn't raise it anymore at all. 51C is pushing it as a max since 60C is line you never wanna cross. you've reached that chip's ceiling, pretty much.

your at the limit, the a64's are more sensitive that the athlon xp's because of the on-die memory controller, it can burn out with too high voltages, people who go higher on phase and water aren't usually expecting to use their cpu more than 1-2 years at most
