Would it be dangerous if I use over 1.5v on my mobo? Or is it just as dangerous as if you do it with a more expensive one?

I don't know what to tell but what i can say is the more voltage the more risk. You might can check it out overclock at hwbot.org. It have information of overclocked CPU and video card. If the temp is over 90C, i would drop voltage and could eat a lot of CPU's lifetime. As wolfeking have say the high end motherboard would be better for overclock. Heatsink on power core is positive.

But you do nothing with it...
4.3ghz is easy even for my mobo totally stable and nice stock voltage.

The limitation I've got right now is more to do with my CPU cooler than it is with my chip or motherboard.

Might go higher than 4.3 one day, but 4.3 just works for me. Not had any issues at all to do with overclocking and I've been using this overclock since April. I bought the PRO for the extra features it offered, namely the Bluetooth and a few other things.

It is not above the SB max of 1.52V, so your chip should be fine, if your temps are under control.

Not to say that a low phase board won't buckle under the stress. It will probably function, but you need to watch the VRM temps. It would be safer on a higher end board, as the VRM chips would run cooler (as they have more power phases to run through).

Basically, you can do it, but I do not recommend it.

I'm going to stay how it is now. I've it running on 4.5ghz totally stable at 1.325v max.
Don't want to risk my cpus lifetime, probably I'm buying a new board around newyear. Then I'll try it anyway.

And dtna, so you say now it's my mobo which was the problem. Because a cheaper board needs more voltage and I only used 1.45v when I set it to 5ghz ;P.
 
What kind of Vdroop do you get under load? Not sure if you board has vdroop control built in or not, it might. A lot of newer 1155 boards do.
 
are you using the OC program within windows? It is very good and can show you what is going on. Just open a load program, say IBT, P95, or the like and open CPUz. Set a clock and voltage in AI suite II, and start the load program. Watch your voltage reading in CPUz vs what you set it to. You are now looking at vDroop. This will tell you more or less (in a very general idea) what you need to set it to to actually get what you set as voltage.

As far as I know is vdroop that your idle voltage is f.e. 1.35v and when you do an heavy app it's lowered to 1.325v.
But I can't see that with mine. The max voltage I'm getting is when running stress program... or am I wrong.
As I said, I can only enable/disable load-line calibration. (Normally you can set it standard/high/extreme)

And wolf, I know how to overclock and I deleted AI suite II. I will never overclock with software if I can do it in bios.
I experimented enough and I know there's nothing wrong with my oc atm!
 
you are not listening. The program is a front end to the BIOS. Any change you make is immediately changed in the BIOS when you hit apply. And without knowing your exact voltage setting and your exact load voltage you can not see your vDroop.

GO about it any way you want, but if you don't do it right you will not get optimal results.
 
The most lowest point :D My little i3 underclock at 1600 MHz. Sometime my BLCK went up to 400 to 500 MHz.

These are all pretty sick underclocks! I'll allow it this time. Next update will not, it's a bit confusing for people who try to compare performance xD.
 
Right...so on my Tosh Satellite:
When the internet loads...
I really need some better photo storage. I hate photobucket and picassa wont load.
