try putting the volts back to stock, a small OC like that shouldnt need a voltage boost let a lone that much.

You mention it seems stable....get a program called prime95 and do the stress test on it see if it can do it for at least half an hour without giving an error....assuming you have not already done this.....

Seems like a hell of alot of volts for a system running 24/7...I have not clocked an AMD CPU since my San Diego core back in the day....but thats seems excessive al the same.

COMPUTERS ARE NOT JUST MY LIFE...THEY ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THEN THAT.
GO SELL CRAZY SOMEWHERE ELSE....WE'RE ALL STOCKED UP HERE!!!!!!

Yeah I have to agree with what's been said by the people above, that small of an overclock shouldn't need a voltage boost. Make sure you set fixed voltage instead of auto, when you OC though. And if it locks up, then it's something else.

If you're going to ramp up just 200MHz, everything can still be left on auto.
Intel Quads, mine for example can be ramped from 2.40GHz to 3.0GHz and everything
still left on auto. Not too sure how good AMD are for overclocking these days, but I'm
positively certain they can handle a meagre 200MHz jump with auto settings.

As for your Volt jump - holy s**t! That's a huge unnecessary tweak for such a small
OC as has been mentioned by other members on here. I would use that voltage
for OC'ing 50% of the CPU. Careful in future with your volts tho.

Yeah messing with the volts that much can physically damage the cpu internally, even though you may not think it's broken. I hope you didnt run it for long with those volts because that's just too much.
