My Voltage = too low?

Well, I'm wondering whats up here. I think its my voltage. I'm running a A64 winnie 3000+ 939 on a Nforce4 Ultra (k8n neo4) mobo (ms-7125). My OC hits around 2.57ghz or so on a stable 12+ hour prime95. I'm wondering around 2.65ghz my games have weird skews and things in them and its really unstable. 2.7ghz is crashed proned. My voltage is at 1.71 right now (Bios 1.4) my max was 1.425 but I upped the cpu VID increase to like 20.0, then i go in clockgen and up it to 1.45 because in my bios i can only up 1.45 to 16.6 higher increase so now its 1.71. I'm wondering why do you think it looks like that? It doesn't even hit 55oC on load. My RAM is safely timed very low. corsair "value" RAM. Its around 210mhz when OC'ed.. I set it on 133mhz when I OC past 2.6ghz. I've got it stable around 220mhz. Oh BTW 3x HT frequency.

I am wondering, if you think this is my voltage.. Is there anyway to get it higher?

If not, what do you think it is? I'm going for around 2.7 stable. Hopefully I can get there. :)

Simply put, Winnes bottleneck is around 2.6GHz so no matter how much voltages you throw at it you will still be unstable. Unless you phase it and go on a suicide mission you won't get past 2.6GHz. I would suggest that you lower your voltages before you kill your CPU.
 
Ok :eh?: I'll lower my voltage to around 1.6v, then I'm going to save up for a 3200+ Venice, as my mobo can handle it and it's not too expensive. I'm hoping for a 2.7 stable or higher out of it. :santa:

EDIT**
How come newegg sells winnies for more than venices. This 3200+ winnie is 99 cents more than a 3200+ venice with SSE3!
