very crazy overclcock

I think that that is intels max VID (mainly because they start at .25V and go up in 256 increments (FF)). So I think 1.52V is too high. Just because you haven't had any problems in 6 months to a year with a ridiculous voltage doesn't mean that it is going to last another 6 months or a year. The 32nm gates are more sensetive to voltage and I'm pretty sure 1.52V was way over the limit for the 45nm chips.
 
no intel says 1,52 is ok for sandy bridge and well i run it at 1,5 volts since january without problems

You got your facts wrong mate. It is wise to listen to TTL and the others. You have been given numerous warnings and don't be surprised when your computer poops out on you when you least expect it.

all is fine i know what i am doing and i run 1,5 volts @ 5 ghz because thats how its 100% stable with prime 95 ect.

i could also run 5 ghz with 1,45 volts but not primestable
 
he's been warned, let him be happy for a year or however long (depending on how lucky he is) and when his chip burns out, he won't do it again
 
He says he is going to upgrade every year so he doesn't care

well then i guess money isn't really a concern, so i guess it doesn't matter so that even if a chip dies, he can get another..... just not typical for most ppl, who would want their hardware to last.... i wanna get at least 3-4 years out of my 2500k

1.55 - 1.57 is the limit for a 1090t - which is 45nm - from my own experience.

1.5 - 1.53 is fine
 
Are you talking about your Phenom II in your sig? Because we're talking about INTEL recommendations on CPU voltages.
