Default How do I raise my V-core?

How do I raise my v-core in BIOS? All it lets me change are like CPU-VID and stuff. I have a 4200x2, and a DFI Ultra D.

Its CPU VID. If you need more precise ajustments you can use the special VID but its usualy not a good idea to use low VCORE and high special VID.

I'm not sure if thats its exact name, but it lets you fine tune the voltage. For instance if you need 1.610 v, you would put 1.425 v and then 113%, giving you 1.610 v. Its not a good idea to run 1.610 v 24/7, but you get the point.
