I've been told that was a bad idea, I was told that I could do 1.6V to 1.7V so I thought why not, I'm new to this thing so I wasnt really sure.

I dont really have any goals at the moment, I just wanted to see what this board could do on air. I bought this board for an absolute steal, so I dont mind if it fails on me.

CPU wise, its still under warranty. I dont really have a spare CPU right now, so I cant test it further , what volts should I be running on air throught the north bridge?

The reason I tried this now is cause I'm getting my CPU pots this week and I just wanted to get a bearing of what the board can do. I'm still learning
