From what I've heard people have achieved the highest overclocks with the 1.37mod, it can be found on http://www.lejabeach.com/MSIK8N/k8nneo2.html. I use this version myself and I could not be happier.

Note.
All options are visible and unlocked, i.e. "reset configuration data" and "+18.3% vcore".

I used to use the 1.37mod bios until I saw the 1.41mod posted. Unfortunately in 1.37mod the voltage increase settings do not stick if you use anything above 10%.

I did notice that the 1.2 bios (which used straight up values for vcore 1.65v, 1.75v, 1.85v) gave me voltage readings closer to the value I set. Right now 1.550v + 10% gives me 1.63v in the bios.

+10% increases the voltage 10% from the stock voltage.

Well, i have a winchester 3200+
I think the stock vcore is 1.4v
so the highest i could get this is 1.54v?
1.4v @ 10% = 1.54v?
I cant even get 1.6v?
im stable right now at 2.2GHz (220x10) HTT 4x @ 1.4v
my goal is to get to 2.5GHz (250x10)
but will settle for 2.4GHz (240x10)
