<iu>DANGER!!! P4 Overclockers, YOU MUST READ THIS!!!!
This is an exerpt from this thread.
I test P4 systems... aircooled, peltier cooled, watercooled, and phase-change cooled...
As the P4 chips have clock-throttling built into the processors, heat is not a problem to the P4's....however, high voltage to the V-core is.
There is a growing database of evidence of P4 cpu's dying from high voltage to the core. Anything over the Intel spec of 1.75 MAX is dangerous.
I lost a 2.2 and a 1.6 at 1.95 and 2.0 volts, the interconnects broke down from the voltage after only 2 weeks... both were cooled very well, one in a Vap0, the other peltier cooled.
I also lost a 2.4 at only 1.85 volts in three weeks with chilled watercooling.

This is your "evidence" of Pentium 4s failing in the field?

Dan3, you are a despicable twit. You site some pimply-assed fan boy overclocker who ran a few Intel Pentium 4s far above their MAXIMIUM recommended operating voltage - and the chips of course died.

You truly are a pathalogical liar and a complete ass.
