if you just up the mutli and not overclock the nb will you still have to raise the voltage of the nb ?

if u mean cpu-nb voltage, no u don't

well whats safe normal v for northbridge

for cpu-nb 1.5v max for air cooling

 

[gareth170]

so do you thing the timings at 1600mhz was the cause ?

Thanks
