Can you safely go past 3000 MHZ north bridge?

[luminol]

I have my rig stable at 3000 MHZ north bridge. So do many people i gather. Just curious how high the North bridge can go
without burning out or becoming unstable. I'm a little afraid to push it much higher as the temps are rather high 62 C max under load. I know this is normal for this board with air cooling but that's pretty dang hot either way.

For reference my setup is a

t1090 black 250 FSB 16 Multi 38-52 deg. c

ripjaw 1333 4 X 2 = 8 gig at about 1674 9 9 9 24 33 1T

NB 3000 MHZ 52-62 deg. c

HT link about 2000

850 W power supply I think It's old.

Thermaltake CLP0564 Frio Dual 120mm fans @ 2500 rpm

4 cooler master 2000 RPM fans

1 140mm and 1 120 mm stock case fans 1000-1500 rpm

All the overclocking for beginners settings off.

All the voltages are relatively low. Nothing is in the red yet.

for 24/7 at Thuban CPU I cant recommend more than about 1.325V for 24/7. It is the point of possible degradation chip. Of course, for some benchmars play you can go higher (1.4-1.45V at air/liquid) and easily broke 30000 MHz. But for 24/7 will be limit with lower voltage about 2800-3100 MHz. Depends at chip quality.

PS:my teacher at the beginning was overclocker Chew*, I have experience with many Phenoms II chip with air or LN2....

Thanks. That's kinda what I figured but it's good to have some confirmation.
