I was able to reach 182Mhz with my FSB, if I go anywhere higher the system doesn't boot, or it crashes in Windows, the Vcore is 1.66V, I searched for an option to change Vcore in BIOS, but I couldn't find one! Is there any other way to change the Vcore? Maybe a hardmod or a software utility?

Great link! Thanks!
Unfortunately, my board doesn't support this feature, so the members there couldn't mod the BIOS to make it support it, one of them was able to increase Vcore using "the old wire in socket mod", what is that? How can I apply this mod? Is there a guide that explains it?

For some reason I am not getting 1.75V when I do the 1.75V mod in that guide, I double checked what I did and I am sure I did the right mod, I always get +1.85V! Which is too much for my CPU, I also tried the 1.725 and the 1.70V mods and all gave me +1.85V Vcore!
Do I have to cut one of the L11 bridges as they specify in their guide to make this mode usefull? But they said that cutting the specific bridge is necessary to set the voltage lower than normal, otherwise I'll only be able to raise the voltage, and that's what I wanna do, I should not need to cut the specific bridge in my case, any help please?
