What will happen if ...

[Bxroute]

Hey there, i've got some questions about voltage.
What happens if we increase the cpu voltage ? Does the temperature drop down ? increase ? What are the dangers ?
And as there are many voltages (Vcore...) what are those that we have to change ?

temperature will increase as you increase voltage. Dangers of increased voltage = increased temps = possibility of fried chip/mobo if cooling isn't up to par.

The only Voltage setting I had to mess with to OC my PIII was the vcore.

Like e_storm said... more volts = more heat. Too much heat = keychain. However, a useful side-effect of increased CPU voltage is stability @ higher speeds. Same works for VIO and memory, although I wouldn't tamper too much with that - highest I used there is 3.5 V. Just get good cooling and watch the temps.
