Changing voltages on your psu?

Does anyone know if there's a way to change your voltages?
Mine are very very stable but they're just a few millivolts off.
I'm busy oc'ing right now and i wanted to know if there's a way for a more stable oc.

and then i mean besides your bios

The only way to change the voltage is through the BIOS. You can use software programs, such as nTune, but they suck. :D
 
Which voltages? You can change the CPU Core voltage, memory voltage, and a few others within the BIOS, but you can't change the actual PSU rail voltages (+12V, +5V, +3.3V, -12V). A few PSUs have adjustable potentiometers on them to allow you to do this, but they're usually enthusiast items, and unless you know differently yours probably doesn't have this.
 
Voltages don't have to be exact 3.3V, 5V or 12V etc, they are allowed to have a certain margin of error. (not sure how much % it was tough, but iirc it was fairly big, like 5% or so)
 
i know but still... maybe there was some way. but the better my voltages are the more change i have on getting a stable oc.

More voltage doesn't mean more stable. As long as there's adequate power to run the motherboard, the motherboard will regulate the power. As long as your motherboard is properly regulating the Vcore, you can adjust the Vcore and Vdimm (Vdimm for memory right?) to have a stable system.

ok, now which voltages your speaking of? Vcore? or PSU Power?

If you really want more stable voltages:

For PSU, the only thing you can do is buy a better quality PSU for more stable voltages...

For Vcore or Vdimm, the only thing you can do is buy a better quality motherboard...
