As long as your temps are ok, you can run it at that voltage. I would stay below 1.5 if I were you. More voltage will shorten the life of any chip, but once you get above 1.5v on a g0 q6600, you will shorten it much more. I ran my q6600 at 1.47 to get 3.6GHz on my P5Q Pro for months. I even did a few benches at 3.8, but had to run voltage at 1.5v, so I didn't leave it there other than to stress test and document the bench.
