Vcore application in OC'ing

[mrgreenjeans]

Need a link or advice on adjusting the Vcore voltage. I've been slowly upping the FSB on my chip and ran prime95 for 18 straight hours and am fixing to step 'er up again. I've got the DRAM turned down and haven't hit spec with it yet. AGP is locked at 66/33. When or if do I adjust the Vcore voltage? I'm holding about 43* under full load and feel I've got some room yet to go.
Info, links, thanks!

Up the voltage when your CPU becomes unstable but everything else should seemingly be running. Then leave all settings the way they are except up the voltage by .5v or so. If you're stable again, than you found the limit of the CPU at stock voltage. Upping the voltage is the last resort. to gaining fsb.

There's a really good explanation about Vcores somewhere on this forum. I'll try to find it.

Found it:

I recommend reading ninthebins link.

I think Xymurgy meant up it in increments of 0.05v. ie 1.55v => 1.60v

Probably. I don't really pay attention to my BIOS, I just kinda push arrow keys and Enter a couple times and cross my fingers.

Great link. Now I understand! Thanks for the info.
