Chipset voltage for NFII Ultra?

In the quest for a stable OC above 2.2 GHz with my 2500+ I think I need to boost the voltage to my chipset, since my mobo (DFI NFII Ultra LanParty) seems to undervolt everything by 0.05V. Problem is I don't know what the default chipset voltage is because the BIOS doesn't say. So, two questions:

1.) What's the default chipset voltage on the DFI NFII Ultra
2.) What's a safe max voltage for the chipset?

I plan to overlclock my 2500+ around that much aswell, would i need to mess around with mobo voltage, i have a shuttle nf2 chipset 400 ultra.

I am stable at 11x200 at stock chipset voltage (whatever that is). I think I need more juice to go beyond that though. If I try running at 10.5x216 it doesn't seem to like having the FSB that high even though the total CPU speed isn't much faster than 2.2 GHz.

unless you have better cooling than stock i wouldn't go above 1.85v or so
but if you do have a good large heatsink or watercooling on yur northbridge and maybe a heatsink on yur southbridge too then i would say up to 2.05v would be good
