I'm thinking about using this speed since it still stays rather cool. I'll probably use this when I put a bigger heatsink on and a nice quiet 80mm fan.

1.8v

This is the end of the line for a cheap heatsink. Under 100% load it gets a bit hotter than I'd like to use.

Conclusion:

Of course I could have gone higher with better cooling, but with how much more heat is produced by increasing the voltages I want to stick with a very cool running chip. Also my whole point behind this article is showing it with "free cooling" since this was a heatsink I never would have used had it not been for this nice and cool running chip.
