Most Phenom II series handle very high volts

A person who says he are working for amd claims that most of the phenom II series chips should be able to handle as mutch as 1.7V 24/7 working 2 years +. He also states that some chip actually will burn out VERY fast at that voltage, but just some. So alittle lottery. He also says that ALL chips handle up to 1.55v and should run for 4years +.

Can this be true? Or is it just bloody boasting? I accedentely run mine on 1.75v for a couple of hours,didnt do anything hard work, but still it ran on 1.75 for some hours. It would be interesting to see a test where someone test processors max voltage 24/7. Anyone who dare to try?hehe. Anyway, I think it is interesting, its very hard to find hard info about the subject rather than just claims that 1.55 is max for 24/7. they cant say how mutch faster the chip burns out it seems, they just "know it".. Im a fan of hard facts,hehe

anyone who can enlighten the subject for me?

EDIT: I want tests result, not unsupported claims;-)

Bump, i am interested if anyone knows.

I forgot to post. He was just an 16years old claming to be working at amd, because that would help his arguments. lol.

But i have done some more reaserth, and it is very hard to find anyone who has tried to run that high voltage 24/7. But from what i understand, it isnt the voltage that kills,but its the heat. You need "insane" high voltage to destroy it whit voltage alone. But as i have understood it, high voltage make them more unstable, and you need to keep the cpu on a lower temp than on lower voltage.

Dont take any of this into use, as i saied, its hard to find info about this!

Im settled for 1.55voltage,hehe. My temp readings was wrong and i got high temps whit 1.6-1.63. IT was producing mutch more heat at only that higher voltage.
