***GUIDELINES***

Do not exceed 1.35-1.38v core voltage, doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
Do not overclock with BCLK, again doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
Recommended memory voltage is 1.50v, so make sure to run your memory at 1.50v, higher could limit lifespan of the CPU
These recommendations come from Intel, your warranty is un-affected but we highly recommend you adhere to the above to make sure your CPU lifespan is un-affected
All Sandybridge CPU's worldwide should be run at the above or lower voltages, no higher!
