Too much voltage / instabilty

"when overclocking, bump the voltages up a notch to help with stability"

Most people would go along with this yeah? Been running my Barton 2500 @
180 x 12 @ 1.70 / 1.75 volts. System kept crashing. Took them down to
standard and all is fine with the world. Got better temps as well now due
to the lower voltage which is never bad - 20 above ambient instead of the 25
I used to have.

Some of the 2500s need the extra Vcore and some don't. You got lucky but
mine needs 1.70 Vcore for stability at 3200+ level (11x200).
