Voltage to frequency question

Hello! So before overclocking I checked some other people with my processor and when finished I can't believe the results.

So I have a Chieftec 650W powersupply and a GA970A-UD3P motherboard, with an FX-6100 cpu.

I see all these people rocking 4.7 and what not as low as ~1.42V.. How?!

I can barely get a stable 4.5 with >1.5V! Almost a whole 0.1V difference.. I don't understand. Even now I was just doing 4.4 with ~1.51V and it crashes, so I bump it up to 1.525V but then my PC just blacks out as if there was a power surge..

I already checked all these overclocking tips for FX but please, I need some help here.. What am I doing wrong? How do other people get stable results with much lower voltages?

Thanks for all the help..

Every chip is different, which is why you often see overclocking results associated with "luck of the draw."

Some chips clock much better than others, some chips have lower power profiles than other and that is (partly) why CPU manufacturers 'bin' their chips across such wide frequency and power ranges.
Hum.
Unless the cpu you are talking about is a black edition.
It means to overclock the cpu you are using the front side bus speed.
Along with the HT speed.

It may not be the voltage at all.
But the very fact you have not set your memory by default to run at a slower speed.
You see when you start knocking up the FSB linked to the speed the memory works at.
In the same respect the HT is also linked so its multiplier has to be lowered or it will exceed the maximum HT speed when bumping up in MHZ steps on the FSB.
