Questions about overclocking, involves V CORE setting.

[jcovercash]

I have overclocked my Thundebird proceesor to 1.4 GHz from 1.2 GHz
I am please with the tamps and everything, Wehn I start to adjust the FSB it hangs up, crappy RAM. Right now i have it set at 133/33 and the multiplier at 10.5, If I mess with the V CORE setting could I increase the Speed even more. Should I lower it or raise it. What settings would you try, Right now it is at 1.750.

Thanks
Josh

Try going up in .25 increments. until you max both the chip and the VCore settings.

What I do is go up as high as I can then knock it down a notch.

1.85V is safe with good air cooling.

Basically, increasing the Vcore gives your processor more "juice" thus more stability especially at higher overclocked speeds.
