Hey all;

Got a quick question about what to do when trying to get your system to run stable with faster-than-normal timings. How do you know when it's a good idea to try bumping up your Vcore or other voltages (memory, etc.)? When is that going to help things, and what's it going to be hard on? I know that voltages, especially core, are often pretty precise, and raising them can have adverse effects (or positive).

I don't know much about overclocking but I do know that raising the Vcore really generates a lot of heat and can drive the temperatures up pretty quickly.

bump up the vCore when the CPU starts to fail under OCed conditions. only do it if you have great cooling though. Upping vCore in small notches can add stability to the CPU....And it can fry it.
