Carl,

previous over clockers were getting 30% over clocking by lowering the voltage to the Athlon

When a lower voltage produces a higher operating frequency, that is indicative of a Vbox. Frequently it is caused by a race condition, and would be an indication of a fundamental circuit problem. A mature design will tend to increase frequency with increased voltage, across the reasonable operating range of the part.

These sort of conditions are not unusual in new designs.
