need clarification on OCing and v-core

hey all, here's my specs:

a64 3000
mushkin 512 3500
ASUS SE deluxe

trying to get a stable OC at 210. memtest runs all extended tests without errors at 210, so i dont think my problem is with the memory. system will run fine for hours before restarting or getting the blue screen of death (particularly with Raven shield). so, i've been trying to raise the vcore. i started at 1.500 and now i'm at 1.650, but i noticed something odd. cpuz reads the vcore at 1.616, while ASUS probe reads it at 1.566. why the difference?

also, when i'm in BIOS and i switch the cpu settings from auto to manual, i get the raise voltage option and also a set cpu speed. options for the second go from 800 to 2000 in 100 increments, but if i'm trying to OC it to 2100, what do i set this at? currently its at 2000.

thanks for the help.
 
what does that mean...i have ASUS's cool and quiet mode disabled.

also, would adjusting the V-link voltage or the AGP voltage help this situation? are there any other options that would affect this situation?
 
all it means is that there is less voltage running through the process than the amount you set in the BIOS

btw, what does the bios voltage show? (not the one you changed, just the one that shows the Vcore)

the agp voltage has nothing to do with it, it shouldnt be changed
 
In the BIOS the vcore is reading 1.616, same as the cpuz. still, thats quite lower than the 1.650 i set it at.

any ideas? should i be concerned about the cpu speed setting, since it only goes to 2000 in manual and i'm trying for 2100?

p.s. i'm using an antec truepower 430watt.
 
Some boards will undervolt like that. If your system is stable, great, let it go. If it's not try bumping the voltage untill the actual is near the stock voltage.
 
ok, so how should i approach the problem with my system OCed? if memtest reports no errors should i assume its not the memory? if the system can run fine under prime95 for 6-7 hours before restarting what are the possible issues?

thanks
