Did i set my vcore correct, or is this too much?

I got my phenom 2 x4 920 at 3.41 ghz. it runs around 42 degrees idle, load hasnt passed 50 yet. ive played all my games, no issues. ran 3dmark06 a few times, no issues. im stuck with the 14x multiplyer, but my bios allowed me to turn up the cpu and cpu nb frequency to 245 which gave me my current clock. i can only set the vcore +50, +100, or +150 mv. i set it to the 150 cause 100 wasnt stable. right now the vcore is 1.44v, does that seem right?

or is it you choose to add 50mv increments every time, so if i choose +50 again it adds another 50, or is it just set at the +50 from stock?
 
That sounds about right. A bit high, but right. Its +50v from stock, it doesn't add up in increments. With that much volatage,you should be able to get a wee bit higher clock speeds though, unless you just got a meh chip, in which case, 600mhz isn't too bad of an OC. So long as temps are good you're aces.
 
i have it stable at 3.41 with just the +50mv. its at 1.34 volts.
last night i left it at 3.5ghz and 1.34volts and this morning it was alittle glitchy in itunes so i set it back to 3.41. what do you think, should i push it to +100mv and set it back to 3.5, or try to push more or anything?

only thing that sucks is i have to up the frequency, rather than play with the multiplier. my ram had to go up alot of speed to around 870 rather than 800 to run the 3.5ghz overclock. should i up the ram voltage alittle to keep that stable as well?
 
Not too sure on the ram to be honest, I'm still trying to figure some of that stuff out myself. However, you should be using a proper stability tester instead of just going back when things go wrong. Download Prime95 and if it passes that for an extended amount of time, you're aces.
