okay I am still new to overclocking so be nice. I have had no trouble going to 3.8 with 1:1 FSB DRM. now I was leaving the voltages at auto but they were showing 1.312 to 1.296 at desktop and 1.280 to 1.296 for prime95. ram is at stock 5 4 4 12 timings and auto voltage.

I went back to 3.6 for now and then set the vcore to the stock 1.25 setting. now it shows 1.216 to 1.200 at desktop and 1.200 to 1.184 during Prime95.

1. is that perfectly normal?
2. should I raise the vcore just a bit to be safe
3. should I change my ram voltage or leave it at auto?
4. are there any other settings that should not be left at auto?

1. It's normal
2. If it's stable leave the vcore there.
3. leave it on auto
4. I only changed the pci-e to 100 ,fsb to 400 and memory divider with my e8400
