Is it just the FSB and multiplier that has to be adjusted or does the voltage have to be as well? The only thing you can adjust with Intel CPUs is the FSB frequency and the voltage. All Intel processors come with a fixed clock frequency multiplier.

You only need to change the FSB. The multiplier is preset by Intel and cannot be changed. They locked the multiplier quite a while ago, back in the Pentium 200 days I believe. You only need to raise the voltage as needed to maintain stability. Some CPU's will run at OC'ed speed at their stock voltage, most need a bump, and a few won't overclock at any voltage. The downside of extra voltage is that more heat is created, thus the need for good cooling. My setup is running at 2.10 volts now, but I haven't done too much testing to see if it would run at less voltage. Going to 2.05 or 2.10 is not much change really. Dan
