Just to clarify I had another thread on this, but my question never got answered. I have gotten my 965 to 3.6ghz stable overclock with stock voltages, but I want to go even higher, but I am not quite sure which voltage to increase. The stock voltage is 1.35, so should I increase it in .025 increments?

3.6ghz and stable? Very good. I'm not very knowledgeable in overclocking but that seems about right. Slightly increase until it crashes then go with the last stable setting. Not satisfied with the 3.6ghz clock? What's the stock clock on that CPU anyways?

Stock clock is 3.4Ghz. So when I increase the voltage do I increase the CPU Voltage and not any of the other ones?

I would just slowly increase the multiplier in the bios first. I wouldn't even mess with the voltage yet. I got mine from 3.3(stock) to 3.9 stable without having to touch the voltage,

I can only get to 3.6 on stock voltage, anything after that is unstable. Crashes after 15 minutes of prime95.

Leave everything on auto and yes change the core voltage.
You are fine all the way up to 1.5v for the cpu voltage, if you are on air you are probably going to run into heat problems before you get there anyway.

I wouldn't recommend 1.5v on a 965 but i guess it's up to TC.

If you have adequate cooling there is no problem...
There were lots of people running +4.2ghz @ +1.5v a couple of years ago.
