True, if you only do the BSEL mod. In case of this mod, your CPU must be stable at max FID (or whatever you set it through the BIOS) at max stock VID.

There are, however, default VID mods out there you can also apply at the same time.

So, in short, this is only a BSEL mod. If you need more voltage at boot, then you'll also have to search a voltage mod for your CPU. Just google for it a little, I found a list of all voltage mods for LGA775 CPUs a while back. You only need to know your default VID at boot (If you don't know, RMClock can tell you - that is, if you don't have anything else to tell you that).
