wPrime 32M - Is this excessive voltage?

What do think? Is this excessive voltage being used?

The thing is that it could not be stable enough with any less vcore than what I had @ 4.55GHz.
Kudos to anyone could does it better with less vcore. Please show me what you can do.
A screenshot would be appreciated.
Thanks.
 
Certainly too much for the long-term health of the chip - I mean you probably wouldn't want to Prime overnight with that voltage. For benching, I dunno. It's farther than I'm willing to go and well over Intel's spec of 1.375 max. I limit my attempts to what can be achieved at 1.4 and below, which correlates to about 4.3 Ghz.

Agreed. This is just for benching purpose. Since benching on wPrime32M was quick so I don't think much harm could be done.
Though, I was able to squeezed every last bit out of this CPU with my air cooler could handled.

Yea, I've never seen anyone get up in the 4.5 range without vcore over 1.5. Really pretty remarkable to achieve that on air without inducing TM. I'm curious of what cooler and MB you're running.
