Is there a probelm with setting the Vcore lower than the stock.....Mine is set at 1.65 I tried raising it to get the overclock I wanted and it wouldnt do it. I set the voltage at 1.625 and I still keep my 176 FSB fine but my temps droped a few degrees celsius!!!
So I wanted to know if there was any negative effects of lowering your vcore?
 
yeah, in fact, its a commonly used method of lowering total system temps when people dont have a good way of dealing with temps.
 
Kewl I didnt notice any stability issues and took my cpu temp from 47 to 45 with no loads!!!
