    I don't personally know, but go a few notches at first then one by one and test buy stressing the cpu with wprime, 2x prime95. etc.
    Or go on the lowest and work your way up, if it crashes its too low

    Actually I thought Turions might not be supported. But I don't know and use RMClock anyway. Good luck. And like said before just make sure to go step by step and make sure NHC does not start with Windows at least until you determine what is stable. Do you use "cool n quiet" That helps my temps undervolts to .8V.
