Hi guys i have overclocked my E6600 to 3ghz without changing the voltage, cpu-z says that it varies between 1.280 - 1.312. I wouold like to up the speed some more but it crashes loading windows! what would be a safe voltage to use and could you tell me what values that i need to change in the bios, to change the voltage my mobo is a Asrock 4coreN73PV

Thanks in advance

pretty much what ive always gone by. Another thing to consider is if the nuber changes to red in the BIOS it is above Intels spec sheet iirc
