Its better to manually set the voltage in the BIOS.

It is also a good option to turn down your memory speed. You're running at near 1100mhz already. While overclocking the CPU, lower your memory, it will help you isolate any type of stability issues. Once your CPU overclock is good, go back and overclock your RAM.

200mhz to a CPU will get you more performance than 200mhz to memory speed.
