Changing voltage on processor??

I currently have a AMD Dual Core 5600+ 64 X2 Socket AM2 processor. The normal clock is 2.6GHZ. I was able to overclock it to 3.00GHZ just by changing the FSB. but it is unstable if I go any higher, but the chip still remains below 50C so I was wondering how I would increase to voltage to the chip in order to push it even further (since I heard that helps stability at higher clocks) but my motherboard is a MSI K9N I believe, but I have 2 computers I am trying to overclock, but none of the motherboards have the option to increase to processor's voltage, I can only increase the voltage of the RAM on one of the motherboards. can anybody help tell me how I might get a aftermarket bios or a freeware program for windows so I can raise the voltage much higher? I tried a AMD clock program but would not let me increase the voltage anymore than .5Vs higher than what it was already set at.



Please help me! I want to break my overclocking record with this dual core chip lol, ive never got 3.2GHZ+Changing voltage on processor??update the bios on the boards, or get a proper overclocking board from gigabyte.Changing voltage on processor??DUDE?! You raised the voltage by .5v?! That's almost a 50% increase in voltage! That's WAY too much. Usually you want to raise it by .01-.02v at a time until it's stable.



What are you trying to do? Fry the CPU?Changing voltage on processor??Hey, if you are unable to change the core voltage in your BIOS, try updating your BIOS from the manfacturers website, this may solve your problem, if not, you will have to replace your board with another one capable of a good overclocking ability, able to change v cores, frequency, ram timing etc. hope this helps.Changing voltage on processor??Too much voltage can damage a component but the right amount can help stability. In regards to your processor, raising the voltage with overclocking will bring stability but can also raise temps. I typically recommend not going over 1.45volts with air cooling setups. High voltages over time can cause electromigration but we're talking like 1.5-1.6+ volts 24/7.

Just make your best judgment and when you start to see the temperatures rise, drop the voltages and keep testing.Changing voltage on processor??No more man! youre right on your way to frying your processor.
