24/7 Voltage ?

What is the max voltage you guys would use 24/7 ?
I can get this chip to 2.8 ( 255 x 11) no problem but i need 1.625v. Prime 95 temps never go over 46'c. I am using the cnps9500 and my case is crazy cool, so temps are not my concern its the voltage. But i also don't want to fry my chip.

Is my temps good ?

Its also prime stable but...... i am a little worried about voltage. Is 6.25 Fine with this cooling setup ?

Thats a nice OC there the voltage looks ok on the CPU from what i know and the temps are good just make sure it doesnt go near 70C cause thats the maximum for that CPU.

Not to sure about the psu ratings i dont know much about that. But dont take it from me wait for the experts thumbright

Yea i thought there was something wrong with my PSU also, till weaz pointed out the actual % of fluxuation. Like 0.39% on my 5V / 0.48% on 3V and 1.29% on 12 V. They look ALOT worse on graph the the actually are Very Happy

PhRoZ, how long do you want to keep that cpu and complete set-up? If you are planning on keeping it long term then I would back the vcore down a few notches. But if you are going to be upgrading again with in a year to year and a half then that voltage is fine.

Remember tweak it like you mean it.
And if you can't afford to replace it don't try and push it to the limits it might just go over.

and yes you can quote me on that

^^Good information and advice.

I agree, the graphs look scary but when you take a good look the variations are well inside the norms.

Temps, voltages, and the O'C all look great. If everything stays around there you should be running a solid rig for a good chunk of time.

Ok weaz i got it stable at 1.6 and temps are down to 45-46 'C. Is this good or do i still need to drop it more ?

I would keep it at the level for a while and see how she handles it. If you get some instability at that voltage after a while you will either have to bump it back up or back the OC off a little.
