    Posted: 07 Mar 2011 at 6:07pm
Hi again, I am trying to overclock my 2600k to 4.5ghz. Not really needed buy hey why not. My question is for it to run stable I need to set the vcore at 1.34 and during prime it jumps to 1.368. Is this a safe 24/7 Overclock with that high of a vcore? Been running prime 95 and the highest temp so far is 72C with a Noctua D14. Just not sure if that high of a vcore will burn my chip out. Thanks in advance. (Justn) heh

what motherboard are you using?  Basically anything below a 1.4 is fine for 24/7 use

Well 4.5 is stable but my system seems like it likes 4.1 alot better. Much lower vcore and 60C max in prime 95. I really only game and cant tell the differnce between the 2 anyway lol.
