Maximum Voltages for a Newcastle...

Okay, I've finally got a chance to start pushing my PC! It turns out either my old mobo or PSU was the culprit in the instability of OC'ing. I finally hit 2.4Ghz going 218 on my HTT with a voltage of:

vcore-1.65
vdimm-2.9 (is this really bad for the RAM? Should I drop it to 2.8?)

Next, I was aiming my eyes on 2.5 Ghz...which works, IF I'm willing to hit 1.7v on the vcore. My question is, how bad is 1.7v for a New Castle.

I've already understood that I take your advise at my own risk, just looking for that advise to take into consideration ^_-

Oh, and the CPU is a 3200+ Newcastle...
