    how low is too low? i have my 2800 barton OCed to 196x12 @ 1.81v (currently testing with Prime 95) and the vCore fluctuates from 1.74-1.84 while the +5v rail sits around 4.8 +/- .04

    is this too low?

    It wont damage the chip,. That 5V rail is really gettin outta the tolerances you tend to give to a PSU (+/- 0.25V)
