It's not how much vcore you're giving, it's about getting the combination of vcore, fsbt, and vnb dialed in. In my own experience, sometimes, a one step notch on the vcore leads could lead to numerous boot crashes. Just set your ratio/fsb to 8x333 and bump it 2 fsbs at a time and let me know at which point it fails to complete a boot.
