need another way to get more voltage to cpu

Hi,
Is there another way to add more voltage to my cpu? My bios supports bumping the default by up to 10% but this tops my max stable overclock out at 2.65 ghz. My cpu is barely hitting the low 40s idle so I'm sure I could push it some more and every little mhz seems to make a difference when playing games like bf2142 in a 64 person server. I'm guessing this is probably impossible but figured someone here should know for sure. Thanks!
 
Do you have water cooling? If not, I would limit your cpu voltage to 1.5 volts. Those cpus will fry if pushed too high.
 
Ya, even though they are 90nm chips, they won't take kindly to more vcore then 1.5-1.55v. I really wouldn't pursue higher voltages, it's very likely that either your cpu or your mobo will limit the OC anyways, no matter how much vcore you push. And if it's a venice 3000+ then you allready got 800mhz for free, which is pretty nice if you ask me.
 
yeah that's the one I have. not sure I'll try that guide or not it looks a little dangerous. my vcore now with the 10% added to it is about 1.5 so I was thinking just a little more would get me to the 2.7 ghz range.
