Overclocking AMD 2800 barton

[blakey_boy9]

I have my AMD 2800+ barton currently overclocked at 2.24 ghz. I did this using the multiplier and kept the voltage setting in bios on auto. Ive been able to increase the multiplier so that it runs at 2.4, but only keep it there for a few minutes because my new CPU heatsink hasnt arrived yet. In both of these cases, i kept the voltage setting in bios on auto. Would the auto setting generate enough power to fry my CPU? The auto setting was set when i got my computer

Auto Voltage = Stock Voltage

so does that mean i do not need to change my voltage? because my system is stable atm.

You only need to change the voltage if your system becomes unstable.
