A good reason that you are requiring more Vcore is because when you first got it you leaned on the voltage too much....Possibly! I find since back with 939 Opterons and x2 overclocking is that with AMD Processors its Taboo to intruce High Voltage to the Processor off the front line I also find that if you start out with lower voltage and find the lowest it can run on at stock (Boot) you can actually train AMD CPU's to respond to and utilize lower voltage when Overclocking Most say that is a Myth but I have successfully done this with every AMD CPU I have since I read this 2 years ago Maybe its and I am just lucky but 6 AMD CPU"s later I really believe that its achievable from my results and what I have experienced at least.

Good to know, if it's true or not, Ill try it out with my next CPU. Can't hurt to try it out anyway.

I know that worked on the old athlons, for some reason it allowed a stretch, I asked AMD about it and unfortunately I forget what they said. GRRR.

Well think of it this way>>>>. You should really apply that logic regardless because of the Memory Controller residing in the CPU its self and memory controllers are much more sensitive then the CPU its self any day of the week.

I agree & have a few methods to getting more Mhz out of the CPU with a fitness program.
As you has seen my 6400BE will now but up at 3600+ where before i could only get 3570 max no matter the VCore.
