highest voltage i should go?

whats the highest voltage i should go with the e2180, im at 1.3 http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/9060/tempandvoltsup1.jpg my CPU-Z and coretemp. i am at 2.9ghz but it keeps on failing at prime95 on thread 1

you should try to keep the system at 1.5V as the absolute maximum imo, so you can try a slightly lower voltage, like 1.35V and test the system with that

ok thanks, ill try that and reply after ive done it

 

[thirdshiftdj]

which tests are you doing in prime?

 

[lukas]

fft test (top one) my friend said it stresses the most

 

[thirdshiftdj]

how low is your voltage go under load?

good luck cranking that chip with that VID.. i have a 1.325VID as well and can't get past like 3.2

 

[thirdshiftdj]

same here. I've ran 3.6 w/ 1.6v for super Pi a couple of times but it would'nt boot into windows so I had to use Uguru to do it instead of bios

i dont really watch the voltage wen im stressing, i usually focus on the temps and test to see if its failed

btw, can i push over 1.5v if i have ok temperatures? And i tried 3.1 and it just wasnt stable with like 1.4volts and didnt want to push it more until i asked you guys xD

be sure not to put more than 1.5V into a 65nm CPU for long term use, that drastically shortens the lifespan due to damage done to the internal transistors as a result of the high voltages causing displacement of atoms in the structure of the cpu. not much but eventually it all adds up

^^ i got that from my cousin who works for AMD cpu troubleshooting division.
