Hi I recently installed an SK6 on my Athlon 1.2 Ghz and overclocked it to 1.4. It's running fine, right now it's about 40C, it was I think 35C before I overclocked it(idle temps). Anyways, I was wondering how voltage factors into the equation and how one should determine when/if voltage needs to be raised and by how much. Right now my volage is 1.82 at core. Thanks!

Voltage will create more heat. This must be factored in and cooling must be provided. You will have many tell you that you are fine up to 50c. I personally don't go that high. 45c works for me with brief temps up in the mid 40s when under high load. I found and have used this.

45c and below = good
45 to 50 = time to start looking for better cooling
50 and up = not me

As for the voltage, (keeping heat in mind) add it as needed to attain stability.
