I am getting started on the OC'ing fun, but I don't want to burn this chip up while still using stock HSF and stock TIM.
I know I asked earlier, but I cannot seem to find the response (thread is unwieldly) but what is the safe voltage for these pilderiver chips? We know AMD knows but isn't telling, but what is the general concensus?
Is 1.5V safe? What about 1.6V?
^ the red dots are data for my chip, optimized Vcore as needed to remain stable while running at least 5 passes of LinX.
The extrapolation to 4.5GHz reads out at 1.49V, and 1.68V for 5GHz D: Are those considered silly stupid voltage for a 32nm AMD chip, or is that "safe and reasonable"?
(by comparison I had no qualms over shoveling 1.5V into my 32nm 2600K and running it at 93C with LinX...perhaps arguably "silly stupid" of me, but that is my threshold as a baseline in answering my question above)
