Intel used to give 1.35V as safe on vtt, then with lynnfield 1.21V became max.
But I have been following discussions over at the G.Skill forums, and their lead tech advisor routinely advises people to up their vtt (on lynnfield systems) well past 1.21, and in this case:

he recommends try 1.5V. I had to make an account to ask him if he thought if this was safe and he replied:
"It is fairly safe, it is simply necessary for "overclocking". Intel considers anything above DDR3-1333 overclocking, so that keep that in mind with all their voltage limitations. Of course aftermarket hardware is designed to take the extra voltage, so we suggest what we consider normal. "
So is the 1.21V max by intel 'hogwash'? Thoughts?
