P4 "safe" voltage??

Asmoday · Feb 27, 2004, 12:58 AM

Yes i know this is an old question, but i just got my first P4 rig together and i wanna know how much i can feed the cpu before its getting dangerous? I have it cooled with the DD Rbx waterblock...dont really know what the normal temps are for P4, but i running it at 230mhz fsb atm(its a 3.0C@3455mhz] with 1.5v on the cpu and during primes torture test the cpu is 45C atm..
So guys what do you think is a "safe" voltage for the cpu?..

'Temps looks alright..but slightly high for Water cooling though of course there are lots of reasons why it's that high. However, the temp is not out of spec or alarming. If it's running okay why do you want to raise the voltage?
