as a general guideline...about when should I bump the voltage up?

I'm using an Epox 8K7A...so it'll be in 0.1V increments

Basically, if your system boots into windows and runs stabily (test it with Prime 95 or similar) your core voltage will be adequate, but when you push the chip too far, it will require more voltage.
So the answer is: increase your core voltage as the system becomes unstable, but only as much as you need to gain stability as the side effect is higher CPU temperatures.
